Lithium iodide hydrate, 98.0+%, 25g CAS Number: 85017-80-7 Molecular Weight: 133.85 (anhydrous basis) Linear Formula: LiI · xH2O Lithium iodide, or LiI, is a compound of lithium and iodide. When exposed toair, it becomes yellow in color, due to the oxidation of iodide to iodine. Lithium iodide is used as an electrolyte for high temperature batteries. It is also used for long life batteries as required, for example, by artificial pacemakers. The solid is used as a phosphor for neutron detection. It is also used, in a complex with iodine, in the electrolyte of dye-sensitized solar cells. In organic synthesis, LiI is useful for cleaving C-O bonds. For example it can be used to convert methyl esters to carboxylic acids. Lithium iodide was used as a radio contrast agent for X-ray computed tomography imaging studies. Its use was discontinued due to renal toxicity, replaced by organic iodine molecules. Inorganic iodine solutions suffered from hyperosmolarity and high viscosities.
