Copper(I) iodide reacts with mercury vapors to form brown copper(I) tetraiodomercurate(II): 4 CuI + Hg → (Cu +) 2 [HgI 4] 2− + 2 Cu. This reaction can be used for the detection of mercury since the white CuI to brown Cu 2 [HgI 4] color change is dramatic. Copper(I) iodide is used in the synthesis of Cu(I) clusters such as [Cu 6 I 7] −. [10]
Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu (from Latin: cuprum) and the atomic number of 29. It is easily recognisable, due to its distinct red-orange color.Copper also has a range of different organic and inorganic salts, having varying oxidation states ranging from (0,I) to (III).
Iodometry is commonly employed to determine the active amount of hypochlorite in bleach responsible for the bleaching action. In this method, excess but known amount of iodide is added to known volume of sample, in which only the active (electrophilic) can oxidize iodide to iodine. The iodine content and thus the active chlorine content can be ...

Lithium dimethylcopper (CH 3) 2 CuLi can be prepared by adding copper(I) iodide to methyllithium in tetrahydrofuran at −78 °C. In the reaction depicted below, [4] the Gilman reagent is a methylating reagent reacting with an alkyne in a conjugate addition, and the ester group forms a cyclic enone. Scheme 1. Example Gilman reagent reaction
Phenylcopper was the first known organocopper compound and was first prepared in 1923 from phenylmagnesium iodide and copper(I) iodide and in 1936 by Henry Gilman by transmetallation of phenylmagnesium iodide with copper(I) chloride. Phenylcopper can be obtained by reacting phenyl lithium with copper(I) bromide in diethyl ether. [3]
Marshite (CuI) is a naturally occurring isometric halide mineral with occasional silver (Ag) substitution for copper (Cu). [6] [7] Solid solution between the silver end-member miersite and the copper end-member marshite has been found in these minerals from deposits in Broken Hill, Australia. [8]
The aromatic chlorides and bromides are not easily substituted by iodide, though they may occur when appropriately catalyzed. The so-called "aromatic Finkelstein reaction" is catalyzed by copper(I) iodide in combination with diamine ligands. [9] Nickel bromide and tri-n-butylphosphine have been found to be suitable catalysts as well. [10]
