Autoignition =Silicon tetraiodide is the
chemical compound with the formula SiI4. It is a tetrahedral molecule with Si-I bond lengths of 2.432(5) Å. [Kolonits, M.; Hargittai, M. "Molecular Structure of Silicon Tetraiodide" Structural Chemistry 1998, volume 9, pages 349-352. doi|10.1023/A:1022462926682]SiI4 is a precursor to silicon amides of the formula Si(NR2)4 (R = alkyl). [Banerjee, C.; Wade, C. R.; Soulet, A.; Jursich, G.; McAndrew, J.; Belot, J. A. "Direct Syntheses and Complete Characterization of Halide-Free Tetrakis(dialkylamino)silanes" Inorganic Chemistry Communications 2006, volume 9, pages 761-763.] It has also been of interest in the manufacture and etching of silicon in
microelectronics .References
