Iodotrifluoroethylene is the organofluorine compound with the formula {{chem|C|2|F|3|I}}. It is a volatile colorless liquid.
Preparation and reactions
It is prepared by iodination of trifluorovinyl lithium.{{cite journal|doi=10.1039/CC9960000049|title=The hydrofluorocarbon 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a) as a ready source of trifluorovinyllithium|year=1996|last1=Burdon|first1=James|last2=Coe|first2=Paul L.|last3=Haslock|first3=Iain B.|last4=Powell|first4=Richard L.|journal=Chemical Communications|pages=49}}
Iodotrifluoroethylene reacts with cadmium metal to give CdC2F3(I).{{cite journal |doi=10.1016/S0040-4020(01)81105-4|title=Fluorinated organometallics: Vinyl, Alkynyl, Allyl, Benzyl, Propargyl and Aryl|year=1994|last1=Burton|first1=Donald J.|last2=Yang|first2=Zhen-Yu|last3=Morken|first3=Peter A.|journal=Tetrahedron|volume=50|issue=10|pages=2993–3063}}
It reacts with nitric oxide under UV light, producing a nitroso compound, with iodine as a byproduct:{{cite journal|first1=C. E. |last1=Griffin |first2=R.
