Fluoroiodomethane is a mixed halomethane, more exactly "fluoroiodocarbon" (FIC).

Fluoroiodomethane can be prepared from iodoacetic acid. [ [http://www.emergenthomestore.com/techcat/cycloalkano-indole_-azaindole_derivatives/preparation_fluorinated_organic_compounds.html Preparation of fluorinated organic compounds] ]

Its isotopomer [¹⁸F] fluoroiodomethane (PubChem [http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary.cgi?cid=451313 451313] ) is a synthetic precursor for fluoromethylation of radiopharmaceuticals.

Also proposal of its use as a safe high-performance foam blowing agent exists. [ [http://www.p2pays.org/ref/22/21357.htm New Foam Blowing Agents Containing Fluoroiodocarbons] ]
