Zirconium tetraiodide (ZrI₄) is an inorganic compound consisting of zirconium and iodine, classified as a metal halide rather than a conventional structural metal. This material is primarily encountered in research and specialized chemical contexts rather than high-volume engineering applications; it serves as a precursor compound in materials synthesis, particularly in the production of high-purity zirconium metal via the iodide refining process (van Arkel–de Boer process), and is studied for niche applications in nuclear fuel chemistry and inorganic synthesis due to zirconium's known corrosion resistance and neutron transparency.
