Use
Cobalt iodide appears as black crystals with a slight ‘iodine’-like odour. When heated to decomposition, it may emit toxic fumes of iodine and oxides of nitrogen. Anhydrous cobalt (II) iodide is sometimes used to test for the presence of water in various solvents. Cobalt (II) iodide is used as a catalyst, for example, in carbonylations. It catalyses the reaction of diketene with Grignard reagents, useful for the synthesis of terpenoids.
