What is nitric iodine and where can i get it if possible?

Answer 1

You're probably talking about NI3, which is variously called nitrogen triiodide or triiodine nitride.

You can't get it. It's got no practical use and it's insanely sensitive to even slight jolts (it's the only known explosive that can be detonated simply by alpha radiation). No one makes it commercially and if they did it would explode during shipping.

You could theoretically make it, but as it's extremely dangerous and possibly illegal, I'm not going to tell you how directly. If you have a legitimate need to make it, here's the journal reference: Tornieporth-Oetting, I.; Klapötke, T. in Angewandte Chemie International Edition 29: 677-679 (1990). (Anyone who can get their hands on a twenty-year-old article in a German chemistry journal is likely to have at least some idea what they're doing ... and if not, they're still not going to be able to get the reagents.)

my pop worked 38 years in a mine and has a colection on jems & minerals we have nere 30 kg of nitric iodine and i made the unstable explosives too the jolly Rodger method and its really fun you put in even amounts of both in

Answer 2

Nitric iodine is not a known chemical compound. It seems like a mix-up between nitric acid and iodine. Nitric acid is a strong mineral acid, while iodine is a halogen element. These substances have different properties and uses, and they are typically available from chemical suppliers or laboratories for specific applications.
