"Another method to prepare MgI2 is mixing powdered elemental iodine and magnesium metal. In order to obtain anhydrous MgI2 the reaction should be conduct in a strictly anhydrous atmosphere and dry-diethyl ether can be used as a solvent."

Also, to know if the reaction is exothermic or endothermic, look up the value of "std enthalpy of formation" at the above link.
A negative value indicates the above reaction is exothermic.
