Zirconium(IV) iodide is the chemical compound with the formula ZrI4. It is the most stable and most readily available iodide of zirconium.This orange-coloured species is volatile subliming as intact tetrahedral ZrI4 molecules. It is prepared by the direct reaction of powdered zirconium metal and iodine.Pyrolysis of zirconium(IV) iodide gas by contact of hot wire was the first industrial process for the commercial production of pure ductile metallic zirconium.
