General description

Diiodomethane is a solvent used as a halogen bond donor toward metal-bound halides.[1]

Diiodomethane (CH2I2) is an iodine containing organic compound. Its decomposition in acetonitrile initiated by 310nm light has been investigated.[2] Femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopic and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations studies of the photodecomposition of CH2I2 suggest the formation of the isomer of diiodomethane (CH2I-I) as hot photoproduct.[2][3] In the atmosphere, it undergoes photolysis in the presence of ozone to afford iodine oxide (IO) which results in the formation of aerosols. Its vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photoabsorption spectrum has been reported.[4]

Application

Diiodomethane has been used as a probe liquid for evaluation of the polar and dispersive components of the surface energy of the catecholamine coated fiber surfaces.[5] It may be used for the preparation of cyclopropyl ketones, esters and amides.[6]
Diiodomethane may be used as a probe solvent in contact angle measurement to analyze the hydrophilicity of polymer surfaces.[7]

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  3. What is the shelf life of this material with the copper stabilizer?

    1 answer

    1. This product is not assigned an expiration date or recommended retest date. Products with no expiration date or recommended retest date should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected. These products are also subject to a one year warranty from the date of shipment. For more information you may access the "Product Dating Information" document under "ADDITIONAL USEFUL DOCUMENTS ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS" at the bottom of the Quality Services page with this link: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/life-science/quality-and-regulatory-management/quality-services.
