Iodomethane (CH₃I), synonym methyl iodide, with 62 electrons, is a molecule in which one of the hydrogen atoms of methane is replaced with iodine. The substitution renders the molecule both polar (dipole moment = 1.641 D; electronic polarizability = 8.87 × 10⁻⁴⁰ F m²) and electron-attaching. The molecule has six vibrational modes in conformity with other halomethanes. The details of the modes and similar data for fluoromethane are given in Table 63.1 (Shimanouchi, 1972).
