Iododifluoromethane, with the CAS number 1493-03-4, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of haloalkanes. It is characterized by the presence of one iodine atom and two fluorine atoms attached to a methane backbone. This compound is typically a colorless gas or liquid at room temperature and is known for its high density and low volatility. Iododifluoromethane is notable for its applications in various fields, including as a refrigerant and in organic synthesis. It exhibits a relatively low boiling point and is stable under standard conditions, although it can react with strong bases and nucleophiles. The presence of both iodine and fluorine contributes to its unique chemical properties, including its reactivity and potential environmental impact. Due to the presence of halogens, it may also have implications for ozone depletion, making its use subject to regulatory scrutiny. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it can be harmful if inhaled or ingested.
