Lithium iodide

When exposed to air, it becomes yellow in color, due to the oxidation of iodide to iodine.

It is also the standard electrolyte in artificial pacemakers[6] due to the long cycle life it enables.

For example, it can be used to convert methyl esters to carboxylic acids:[9] Similar reactions apply to epoxides and aziridines.

Inorganic iodine solutions suffered from hyperosmolarity and high viscosities.

[10] It is also useful in MALDI imaging mass spectrometry of lipids by adding lithium salts to the matrix solution [11]

E.g. water Instability 0: Normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and is not reactive with water. E.g. liquid nitrogen Special hazards (white): no code
