Why don't you try it out and tell US about the result?

I strongly suspect that coordination of the iodide to the mercury is part of the reason for using it, but that's just my hunch.
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.

What can you do with fluoroform for anyway; apart from terraforming Mars?

Considering that it's a gas at room temp, probably not a great deal.

Just off the top of my head you can use base to make CF[sub}3- ions which could be of some use. Maybe in making trifluoroethanol with
reaction with formaldehyde? Oxidation of that to CF3COOH? would be an interesting possibility.
"The chemists are a strange class of mortals, impelled by an almost insane impulse to seek their pleasures amid smoke and vapor, soot and flame,
poisons and poverty; yet among all these evils I seem to live so sweetly that may I die if I were to change places with the Persian king." - Johann
