What is EuI~2~, a low-temperature europium(II) iodide phase about?
Light-yellow europium(II) diiodide, prepared by the low-temperature reaction of europium and ammonium iodide in liquid ammonia at 200 K and characterized by high-resolution X-ray powder diffraction, represents a new phase for EuI2 that adopts an orthorhombic Pnma structure with all three atoms lying on 4c positions (.m.). It is isotypic with SrI2(IV). Temperature-dependent X-ray measurements performed to investigate the thermal stability of the new phase show that it decomposes irreversibly to amorphous material around 673 K. Total-energy density-functional calculations using the generalized gradient approximation suggest this to be the ground-state structure of EuI2.
