clear light yellow to orange liquid
1,5-Diiodopentane is used as a crosslinking reagent. It is used in the preparation of (iodoalkylaminocarbene)tungsten complexes. It is also used as alkylation to form unsubstituted cyclohexane. It is involved in the preparation of poly(1-vinyl imidazole-co-elthylene glycol methyl ether acrylate electrolytes and used for quasi-solid state dye-sensitized solar cells.
Electrochemical reduction of 1,5-diiodopentane at carbon electrodes in DMF containing tetramethylammonium perchlorate has been studied by cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential electrolysis.
Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic vapors of Ií.
