Useful:

• Canonical SMILES: [Al+3].[I-].[I-].[I-]
• Uses: Catalyst in organic synthesis. Aluminum iodide is employed as a catalyst to break certain kinds of C-O and N-O bonds. It cleaves aryl ethers and deoxygenates epoxides?It can also be used for the manufacture of iodinated organic compounds. The compound may be used as an additive for electrolytes in lithium ion batteries.
