C3H4I2

C3H4I2 is the chemical formula for a molecule containing three carbon atoms, four hydrogen atoms, and two iodine atoms. This formula represents a class of organic compounds rather than a single specific substance, as the arrangement of these atoms can vary, leading to different isomers. The presence of iodine suggests it is an organoiodine compound. Without further structural information, its precise properties and reactivity are not definitively known.

Common structural possibilities for molecules with the formula C3H4I2 include diiodinated propanes, propenes, or propyne derivatives. For instance, it could be a diiodopropane where two iodine atoms are attached to a three-carbon propane chain. Alternatively, it might involve unsaturated carbon chains, such as diiodopropene or diiodopropyne, where double or triple bonds exist between carbon atoms. The exact position of the iodine atoms and the presence of unsaturation will dictate its physical characteristics like boiling point, melting point, and solubility, as well as its chemical behavior, such as its susceptibility to addition reactions or nucleophilic substitution.
