    Sodium iodide (chemical formula NaI) is an ionic compound formed from the chemical reactionofsodium metal and iodine. Under standard conditions, it is a white, water-soluble solid comprising a 1:1 mix of sodium cations (Na+) and iodide anions (I) in a crystal lattice. It is used mainly as a nutritional supplement and in organic chemistry. It is produced industrially as the salt formed when acidic iodides react with sodium hydroxide.[11] It is a chaotropic salt.

    Uses[edit]

    Food supplement[edit]

    Sodium iodide, as well as potassium iodide, is commonly used to treat and prevent iodine deficiency. Iodized table salt contains 10 ppm iodide.[11]

    Organic synthesis[edit]

    Monatomic NaI chains grown inside double-wall carbon nanotubes.[12]

    Sodium iodide is used for conversion of alkyl chlorides into alkyl iodides. This method, the Finkelstein reaction,[13] relies on the insolubility of sodium chlorideinacetone to drive the reaction:[14]

    R–Cl + NaI → R–I + NaCl

    Nuclear medicine[edit]

    Some radioactive iodide salts of sodium, including Na125I and Na131I, have radiopharmaceutical uses for thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism or as radioactive tracer in imaging (see Isotopes of iodine > Radioiodines I-123, I-124, I-125, and I-131 in medicine and biology).

    Thallium-doped NaI(Tl) scintillators[edit]

    Sodium iodide activated with thallium, NaI(Tl), when subjected to ionizing radiation, emits photons (i.e., scintillate) and is used in scintillation detectors, traditionally in nuclear medicine, geophysics, nuclear physics, and environmental measurements. NaI(Tl) is the most widely used scintillation material. The crystals are usually coupled with a photomultiplier tube, in a hermetically sealed assembly, as sodium iodide is hygroscopic. Fine-tuning of some parameters (i.e., radiation hardness, afterglow, transparency) can be achieved by varying the conditions of the crystal growth. Crystals with a higher level of doping are used in X-ray detectors with high spectrometric quality. Sodium iodide can be used both as single crystals and as polycrystals for this purpose. The wavelength of maximum emission is 415 nm.[15]

    Radiocontrast[edit]

    António Egas Moniz searched for a radiocontrast agent for cerebral angiography.[16] After experiments on rabbits and dogs he settled upon sodium iodide as the best medium.[16]

    Solubility data[edit]

    Sodium iodide exhibits high solubility in some organic solvents, unlike sodium chloride or even bromide:

    Solvent Solubility of NaI (g NaI/kg of solvent at 25 °C)[17]
    H2O 1842
    Liquid ammonia 1620
    Liquid sulfur dioxide 150
    Methanol 625–830
    Formic acid 618
    Acetonitrile 249
    Acetone 504[18]
    Formamide 570–850
    Acetamide 323 (41.5 °C)
    Dimethylformamide 37–64
    Dichloromethane 0.09[19]

    Stability[edit]

    Iodides (including sodium iodide) are detectably oxidized by atmospheric oxygen (O2) to molecular iodine (I2). I2 and I complex to form the triiodide complex, which has a yellow color, unlike the white color of sodium iodide. Water accelerates the oxidation process, and iodide can also produce I2 by photooxidation, therefore for maximum stability sodium iodide should be stored under dark, low temperature, low humidity conditions.
