chemical compound with the formula ZrI4. It is the most stable and most readily available iodide of zirconium.This orange-coloured species is volatile, subliming as intact tetrahedral ZrI4 molecules. It is prepared by the direct reaction of powdered zirconium metal and iodine. [Eberly, K. C. "Zirconium (IV) Iodide" Inorganic Syntheses McGraw-Hill: New York, 1963; Vol. 7, pages 52-54.
