'''Iodoform''' (also known as '''triiodomethane''') is the [[organoiodine compound]] with the [[chemical formula]] {{chem2|CHI3|auto=1}}. It is a pale yellow, crystalline, volatile substance, with a penetrating and distinctive odor (in older chemistry texts, the smell is sometimes referred to as that of hospitals, where the compound is still commonly used) and, analogous to [[chloroform]], sweetish taste. It is occasionally used as a [[disinfectant]].
