Antimony triiodide is the chemical compound with the formula SbI3. This ruby-red solid is the only characterized binary iodide of antimony i.e. the sole compound isolated with the formula SbxIy. It contains antimony in its +3 oxidation state. Like many iodides of the heavier main group elements its structure depends on the phase. Gaseous SbI3 is a molecular pyramidal species as anticipated by VSEPR theory.
