Reactions of Metals with Iodine - Iron
Powdered iron is mixed with some iodine. There is no reaction when the dry solids are mixed together. In this case, adding water initiates a reaction but it is not as vigorous as the reaction of the aluminum or the manganese. Apparently iron is not as strong a reducing agent as these other metals relative to iodine.
