C6H10I2

C6H10I2 is the chemical formula for a compound containing six carbon atoms, ten hydrogen atoms, and two iodine atoms. This formula represents a diiodoalkane, meaning it is an alkane molecule that has had two hydrogen atoms replaced by iodine atoms. The specific arrangement of these atoms, or its isomer, determines the compound's exact structure and properties. Without further specification, C6H10I2 could refer to several different structural isomers, such as 1,6-diiodohexane, 2,3-diiodohexane, or others. The physical and chemical properties, including melting point, boiling point, and reactivity, would vary depending on the specific isomer. Generally, organoiodine compounds can be used in organic synthesis as intermediates or reagents. They are often synthesized through halogenation reactions.
