Chloramine-T, making iodine monochloride
Hi, i bought Chloramine-T, i read "It converts iodide to iodine monochloride (ICl)" in wikipedia. i'm just interested if i can make pure iodine monochloride
with this reaction. I need practical advice. If anyone has another interesting idea tell me.

It works. I just heated up mixture of Chloramine-T and iodine. I will try larger volumes.

That's very cool, now, what do you plan to use the ICl for?
This isn't exactly a useful synthesis, but you could try reacting it with unsaturated fats, and the resulting halogenated fat with NaOH, making
chloro-iodo "soaps". Then compare the soap's properties based on whether or not it's halogenated or something.
Just a fun idea, even if it's a waste of precious iodine

interesting idea thanks. to tell you truth i don't have idea about the interhalogen, in this particular reaction, i was more concentrated on
properties of chloramine - T, than product itself.

Actually, this reaction is very useful in analysis of food. Iodine monochloride and iodine monobromide are used to determine iodine number of oils.
Excess of reagent is then determined by iodometry.
