The sublimation pressure of ThI4 has been measured by the Knudsen effusion method and found to be
.
Simultaneously with the sublimation of ThI4 there is a small dissociation to lower iodide and iodine. The dissociation pressure associated with the reaction 2 ThOI2 = ThO2 + ThI4 is
The molar heat capacity of solid ThI4 has been determined calorimetrically to be 146 J K−1 mol−1, the heat of fusion is approximately 48 kJ mol−1. The standard entropy of solid ThOI2 is calculated to be 145 J K−1 mol−1.
