1,2-Diiodobenzene(CAS: 615-42-9)

1,2-Diiodobenzene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C₆H₄II₂. It is a benzene ring with two iodine atoms attached to adjacent carbon atoms. It is a dark brown solid and is highly reactive due to the presence of the highly polarized iodine atoms.

1,2-Diiodobenzene is primarily used in organic synthesis as a precursor for the preparation of other iodobenzene derivatives. It is also used in the production of pharmaceuticals and as a reagent in analytical chemistry.

1,2-Diiodobenzene is considered toxic and should be handled with care. It should be stored in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Protective equipment such as gloves and goggles should be worn when handling. It is not safe to ingest or inhale, and it should be kept out of reach of children and pets.

1,2-Diiodobenzene should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. It should be kept in a sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. Maintain a temperature range of 15-25°C and a relative humidity below 60%. Store the container in a well-ventilated area to avoid the risk of ignition due to the presence of air and heat.
