Strontium iodide (SrI₂) is a salt of strontium and iodine. It is an ionic, water-soluble, and deliquescent compound that can be used in medicine as a substitute for potassium iodide .[5] It is also used as a scintillation gamma radiation detector, typically doped with europium, due to its optical clarity, relatively high density, high effective atomic number (Z=48), and high scintillation light yield.[6] In recent years, europium-doped strontium iodide (SrI₂:Eu²⁺) has emerged as a promising scintillation material for gamma-ray spectroscopy with extremely high light yield and proportional response, exceeding that of the widely used high performance commercial scintillator LaBr₃:Ce³⁺. Large diameter SrI₂ crystals can be grown reliably using vertical Bridgman technique [7] and are being commercialized by several companies[8][9].

Reactions

Strontium iodide can be prepared by reacting strontium carbonate with hydroiodic acid:

SrCO₃ + 2 HI → SrI₂ + H₂O + CO₂

Strontium iodide forms a white powder that slowly changes to a yellowish colour when exposed to air. At high temperatures (in the presence of air) strontium iodide completely decomposes to form strontium oxide and free iodine.[10]
