title: Large scale synthesis of dysprosium and neodymium diiodides.
abstract: DyI(2) and NdI(2), which may become useful reagents in organic synthesis, can be prepared in up to 50 g quantities in a few hours without using welded tantalum tubes or temperatures over 1000 degrees C by direct reaction of the metal and iodine.
