'''Iodoform''' (also known as '''triiodomethane''') is the ] with the ] {{chem2|CHI3|auto=1}}.

It is occasionally used as a ].


==Naming==
'''Iodoform''' is the ] with the ] ]]]<sub>3</sub>. A pale yellow, crystalline, volatile substance, it has a penetrating odor (in older chemistry texts, the smell is sometimes referred to as the smell of hospitals) and, analogous to ], sweetish taste. It is occasionally used as a ]. It is sometimes also referred to as carbon triiodide (which is not strictly correct, as this compound also contains ]) or methyl triiodide (which is somewhat ambiguous as that name could also refer to the methylated ] ion, CH<sub>3</sub>I<sub>3</sub>).
The name iodoform originates with the "formyle radical," an archaic term for the HC moiety, and is retained for historical consistency. A full, modern name is triiodomethane. The "hydride" in the latter is sometimes omitted,<ref name="pubchem" /> but the IUPAC recommends against doing so, as "carbon triiodide" could also mean {{chem2|C2I6}} (], a highly unstable compound).

The molecule adopts a ] with C<sub>3v</sub> ].


==Synthesis and reactions== ==Synthesis and reactions==
Iodoform was first prepared by Georges Serrulas in 1822 and its molecular formula was identified by ] in 1834. It is synthesized in the ] by the reaction of iodine and sodium hydroxide with any one of these four kinds of organic compounds: (i) a methyl ]: CH<sub>3</sub>COR, ] (CH<sub>3</sub>CHO), ] (CH<sub>3</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>OH), and certain secondary ]s (CH<sub>3</sub>CHROH, where R is an alkyl or aryl group). The synthesis of iodoform was first described by ] in 1822, by reactions of iodine vapour with steam over red-hot coals, and also by reaction of potassium with ethanolic iodine in the presence of water;<ref>{{citation| first = Georges-Simon|last = Surellas| url = http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k6137757n/f2.image |title = Notes sur l'Hydriodate de potasse et l'Acide hydriodique. -- Hydriodure de carbone; moyen d'obtenir, à l'instant, ce composé triple|trans-title= Notes on the hydroiodide of potassium and on hydroiodic acid -- hydroiodide of carbon; means of obtaining instantly this compound of three elements| language = French| publisher = Metz, France: Antoine| year= 1822| pages= 17–20, 28–29}}</ref> and at much the same time independently by ].<ref name=ODNB>{{cite ODNB|last=James|first=Frank A.
