Titanium(II) iodide

Titanium(II) iodide is the inorganic compound with the formula TiI<sub>2</sub>. It is a black micaceous solid. It adopts the cadmium iodide structure, featuring octahedral Ti(II) centers. It arises via the reaction of the elements:

Ti + I<sub>2</sub> → TiI<sub>2</sub>

As such, it is an implied intermediate in the van Arkel–de Boer process for the purification of titanium metal.
