Nontypical iodine–halogen bonds in the crystal structure of (3E)‐8‐chloro‐3‐iodomethylidene‐2,3‐dihydro‐1,4‐oxazino[2,3,4‐ij]quinolin‐4‐ium triiodide

Two kinds of iodine–iodine halogen bonds are the focus of our attention in the crystal structure of the title salt, C₁₂H₈ClINO⁺·I₃⁻, described by X‐ray diffraction. The first kind is a halogen bond, reinforced by charges, between the I atom of the heterocyclic cation and the triiodide anion. The second kind is the rare case of a halogen bond between the terminal atoms of neighbouring triiodide anions. The influence of relatively weakly bound iodine inside an asymmetric triiodide anion on the thermal and Raman spectroscopic properties has been demonstrated.     

Stability and molecular and crystal structure of 9-amino-10-methylacridinium triiodide

Mixing of equimolar amounts of 9-amino-10-methylacridinium iodide and elemental iodine yields 9-amino-10-methylacridinium triiodide. The complexation in the organic cation iodide-elemental iodine system has been studied by spectrophotometry. The composition and the stability constant of the complex formed in a chloroform solution have been determined. The compound [C₁₄H₁₃N₂]⁺[I₃]^? has been isolated as dark red plate crystals and studied by X-ray diffraction. The structure is formed by linear I ₃ ^? anions and 9-amino-10-methylacridinium cations assembled through π-π stacking. The cations in the stacks are shifted by approximately one ring with respect to one another. The triiodide ion is linear, the average I-I bond length (2.915 Å) is close to the standard value. The stacking reflects the specific nature of the organic cation, while the presence of the I ₃ ^? counterion results in extension of the system of hydrogen bonds.     

Isolierte I102−‐Ringe,ein neues Strukturelement in der Polyiodid‐Chemie

The novel compound bis(1,4,7,10‐tetraoxa­cyclo­do­decane)­cadmium(II) decaiodide, [Cd(C₈H₁₆O₄)₂]I₁₀, contains the [Cd(12‐crown‐4)₂]²⁺ complex cation, triiodide ions and iodine mol­ecules. Two triiodide ions and two iodine mol­ecules form isolated twisted I₁₀^2? rings. The geometry of the complex cation is as expected, e.g.d(Cd—O) = 2.366 (4) and 2.394 (4) Å.     

Crystal and molecular structure of diphenyliodonium triiodide

A new salt diphenyliodonium triiodide (C₁₂H₁₀I₄) was obtained. The [C₁₂H₁₀I⁺][I₃⁻] compound was isolated as red brown crystals and studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of diphenyliodonium triiodide consists of separate, virtually linear I₃⁻ anions and C₁₂H₁₀I⁺ cations. Strong intermolecular anion-anion (I₃⁻…I₃⁻) and anion-cation (I₃⁻…I⁺) interactions in the crystal structure leads to a change in the symmetry of triiodide ions. The complex formation in the system organic cation iodide-elementary iodine was studied by spectrophotometry. The complex composition was found (1: 1), and the stability constant of the complex in chloroform was determined (loggB = 3.91).     

On the correlation between NQR frequency and bond length in I3−

A linear correlation between the NQR frequency of the terminal iodine atom and the corresponding I-I bond length in I₃^? was found in several compounds containing triiodide anions. A simple extended Huckel MO calculation suggested that such a correlation can be used to check the validity of wavefunctions of iodine.     

Ternary diffusion with charged-complex formation in aqueous I2+NaI and I2+KI solutions

Diaphragm cells have been used to measure ternary diffusion coefficients for I₂+NaI and I₂+KI in aqueous solution at 25°C. Although most of the iodine molecules are bound to iodide ions and are transported as the triiodide species [I₂(aq)+I^–(aq)=I ₃ ^– (aq)], diffusion of the iodide salts produces relatively small countercurrent coupled flows of the iodine component. The ternary diffusivity of the iodine component in the solutions is 10 to 20% larger than the diffusivity of the triiodide species. This behavior can be understood by considering electrostatic coupling of the ionic flows. The diffusion equations for I₂+NaI and I₂+KI components are reformulated in terns of NaI₃+NaI and KI₃+KI mixed electrolyte components.     

Studies on the effect of the cation nature on the kinetics of the isotopic exchange reaction between chloride ion and O,O-diphenylphosphorochloridothionate in acetonitrile

Rate constants and activation parameters for the isotopic exchange reactions between (PhO)₂PSCl and M³⁶Cl (M = Me₄N⁺, Et₄N⁺, n-Bu₄N⁺, Et₃HN⁺, EtH₃N⁺, Li⁺) in acetonitrile were measured in order to find the effect of the cation nature onthe kinetics of the reaction. The rate constants measured for a range of concentrations of Et₃HN³⁶Cl, EtH₃N³⁶Cl, and Li³⁶Cl were analyzed using the Acree equation. The equivalent conductance of LiCl in acetonitrile was determined. The nature of the cation has no effect on the mechanism of the reaction. The cation changes only the experimental rate constant proportionally to the dissociation degree of the salt. Smaller values of the rate constant and smaller activation parameters ΔH? and ΔS? for the reaction with Li³⁶Cl indicate the existenceof the intermolecular interaction between lithium ions and O,O-diphenylphosphorochloridothionate.     

Interaction of Iodine with Hexaaza-18-crown-6 and Tetraaza-14-crown-4 in Chloroform Solution

Interactions of hexaaza-18-crown-6 (HA18C6) and tetraaza-14-crown-4 (TA14C4) with iodine have been investigated spectrophotometrically in chloroform solution. The observed time dependence of the charge-transfer band and subsequent formation of I₃ ^- in solution were related to the slow transformation of the initially formed 1:1 macrocycle. I₂ outer complex to an inner electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex, followed by fast reaction of the inner complex with iodine to form a triiodide ion, as follows: macrocycle + I₂→_fast ^K _f macrocycle.I₂ (outer complex) macrocycle.I₂ (outer complex) →^slow (macrocycle.I⁺)I^- (inner complex) macrocycle.I⁺)I^- (inner complex) + I²→^slow (macrocycle.I⁺)I₃ ^-. The pseudo-first-order rate constants at various temperatures for thetransformation process were evaluated from the absorbance-time data. The activation parameters (E_a, Δ H^?, and Δ S^?) for thetransformation were obtained from the temperature dependence of the rate constants. The stoichiometry and formation constants of the resulting EDA complexes have also been determined. It was found that the (TA14C4.I⁺)I₃ ^- is more stable the (HA18C6.I⁺)I₃ ^- complex in chloroform solution.     

Solid-State and Solution FT-Raman Spectra of the Tetraiodine Dication I4 2+

Abstract

I₄ ²⁺ is the only known cyclic homopolyatomic cation or anion of iodine. It has a rectangular planar structure which may be thought of as containing two I₂ ⁺ units joined by a weak π?-π? 4 centre 2 electron bond.¹ In this paper we report our FT-Raman spectra of I₄ ²⁺, which conflict with those published by Gillespie et al. ¹ and present evidence that the peaks attributed to a species containing iodine in the +1 oxidation state are in fact due to I₄ ²⁺.     

Bis(2‐chloro‐N‐methyl­pyridinium) iodide triiodide

The title compound, 2C₆H₇ClN⁺·I^?·I₃^?, crystallizes with undulating layers of chains containing alternate iodide and triiodide anions formed from iodine and the heterocyclic iodide salt.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of (dibenzo-18-crown-6)(iodo)(trichlorometane)potassium

A new complex compound (dibenzo-18-crown-6)(iodo)(trichlorometane)potassium was obtained. Its crystal structure was studied by X-ray structural analysis. The complex molecule is built by the “guest-host” type: its K⁺ cation is in the crown ligand hollow and is coordinated via its all six O atoms, and also via the iodine ligand I and one Cl atom of the ligand CHCl₃ molecule. The coordination polyhedron of this K⁺ cation is a slightly distorted hexagonal bipyramid. In the crystal structure the complex molecules are connected in infinite chains by intercomplex hydrogen bonds Cl₃C-H?I ⁱ between the ligand molecule CHCl₃ and the iodine ligand of a neighboring complex molecule.     

Homolytic S?S Bond Dissociation of 11 Bis(thiocarbonyl)disulfides R‐C(S)?S?S?C(S)R and Prediction of A Novel Rubber Vulcanization Accelerator

The structures and energetics of eight substituted bis(thiocarbonyl)disulfides (RCS₂)₂, their associated radicals RCS₂^., and their coordination compounds with a lithium cation have been studied at the G3X(MP2) level of theory for R=H, Me, F, Cl, OMe, SMe, NMe₂, and PMe₂. The effects of substituents on the dissociation of (RCS₂)₂ to RCS₂^. were analyzed using isodesmic stabilization reactions. Electron‐donating groups with an unshared pair of electrons have a pronounced stabilization effect on both (RCS₂)₂ and RCS₂^.. The S? S bond dissociation enthalpy of tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD, R=NMe₂) is the lowest in the above series (155 kJ mol^?1), attributed to the particular stability of the formed Me₂NCS₂^. radical. Both (RCS₂)₂ and the fragmented radicals RCS₂^. form stable chelate complexes with a Li⁺ cation. The S? S homolytic bond cleavage in (RCS₂)₂ is facilitated by the reaction [Li(RCS₂)₂]⁺+Li⁺→2 [Li(RCS₂)]^.+. Three other substituted bis(thiocarbonyl) disulfides with the unconventional substituents R=OSF₅, Gu¹, and Gu² have been explored to find suitable alternative rubber vulcanization accelerators. Bis(thiocarbonyl)disulfide with a guanidine‐type substituent, (Gu¹CS₂)₂, is predicted to be an effective accelerator in sulfur vulcanization of rubber. Compared to TMTD, (Gu¹CS₂)₂ is calculated to have a lower bond dissociation enthalpy and smaller associated barrier for the S? S homolysis.     

Complex structure tri- and polyiodides of iodocyclization products of 2-allylthioquinoline

Iodocyclization products of 2-allylthioquinoline are obtained in the form of polyiodides with different stoichiometric compositions. X-ray crystallography data are analyzed for two different crystal structures of 1-iodomethyl-1,2-dihydro[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]quinolinium polyiodides: triiodide C₁₂H₁₁INS⁺I ₃ ^? and complex polyiodide 2(C₁₂H₁₁INS⁺I ₃ ^? )·I₂. A comparison is made of the nonbonding interactions of dihydrothiazoloquinolinium with atoms of the triiodide anion and complex polyiodide to show the crystal structure features attributed to the participation of molecular iodine.     

Electrochemical studies of iodine in an aluminium chloride-butylpyridinium chloride ionic liquid part II. Neutral and basic solvent composition

The electrochemical behavior of iodine in an ambient temperature molten salt system, aluminum chloride-N-(1-butyl)pyridinium chloride (BuPyCl), have been studied in basic (excess BuPyCl) and neutral (1.0:1.0 AlCl₃: BuPyCI mole ratio) melt compositions. Acid-base interactions of iodine in different oxidation states with the ionic solvent are observed. High stability of triiodide ion in neutral butylpyridinium tetrachloroaluminate indicates relatively weak intermolecular interactions in this solvent. In basic solutions polyhalogen equilibria involving iodine in different oxidation states and chloride ions are established. In iodine and tetraethylammonium triiodide solutions a mixture of ICI₂^?, I₂Cl^?, I₃^? and I^? ions forms. The formation constants of I₂Cl^? and I₃^? and the equilibrium constant for I₂Cl^? disproportionation are estimated.

The geometries of the complex ions are as expected, e.g.d(Ni—N) = 2.123 (5), 2.127 (6) and 2.134 (5) Å, and d(Zn—N) = 2.176 (4), 2.193 (4) and 2.210 (4) Å. The shortest contact between the triiodide and iodide ions is 3.979 (1) Å for the nickel compound and 4.013 (1) Å for the zinc compound.     

Measurement of inter- and intramolecular charge transfer in the complex N2ICl from analysis of halogen nuclear quadrupole hyperfine structure in the rotational spectrum

The ground-state rotational spectra of two isotopomers ¹⁵N₂I³⁵Cl and ¹⁵N₂I³⁷Cl of a complex formed between dinitrogen and iodine monochloride were observed by pulsed-jet, Fourier-transform microwave spectroscopy. The spectra were interpreted on the basis of a linear equilibrium geometry with the weak bond formed between N and I. The spectroscopic constants B₀, D_J, χ_aa(I), χ_aa(Cl) and M_bb(I) were determined for each isotopomer and various models for the complex were employed to yield the distance r(NI)=3.180(2)Å, the intermolecular stretching force constant k_σ=5.37(3) Nm⁻¹, and the inter- and intramolecular electronic transfers δ_i=0.004(3) and δ_p(Cl)=0.018(2).     

Synthesis and x-ray study of triferrocenyliodidephosphonium triiodide

A series of iodine derivatives of ferrocenylphosphorus compounds has been obtained. An X-ray investigation of [Fc₃PI]⁺I₃^? has been carried out. All ferrocenyl fragments posses close geometric parameters, similar to those of ferrocene and its derivatives. The positive charge of the cation is localized on the phosphorus atom. Symmetrical I₃^? anions of linear configuration form zigzag-shaped chains, as is usual for triiodides. The cation—anion interaction is realized through short I…I contacts.

Two-photon absorption spectroscopy of iodine monochloride in the 5 eV region

Two-photon high resolution sequential spectroscopy has been used to excite iodine monochloride from X¹Σ⁺ ground state to the intermediate A³Π₁ state and thence to a final electronic state at 4.82 eV. Vibrational and rotational analyses of this state have been carried out for both isotopic species. For I³⁵Cl, T_e = 38916.0 cm^?1 ω_e = 168.99 cm^?1, ω_ex_e = 0.357 cm^?1 and B_e = 0.05685 cm^?1. The state probably has Ω = 1 in case (c) coupling approximation. It is also shown how to two-photon technique enables rotational line structure of the A ← X transition to be selectively excited for either isotopic species at a resolution of 500000, from an absorption mixture containing natural iodine monochloride plus its iodine dissociation product at equilibrium vapour pressure.     

Crystal Structure of Bis(dibenzo-18-crown-6)rubidium Triiodide

Crystalline bis(dibenzo-18-crown-6)rubidium triiodide complex [Rb(DB18C6)₂]⁺ · I₃ ^– (I) is synthesized and its structure is studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. The structure of I (space group Pnma, a = 23.854 Å, b = 23.612 Å, c = 7.863 Å, Z = 4) is solved by the direct method and refined by the full-matrix least-squares method in the anisotropic approximation to R = 0.079 against 3990 independent reflections (CAD4 automated diffractometer, MoK ). Structural units of crystal I are the I₃ ^– anions and [Rb(DB18C6)₂]⁺ cations. The crystal has the structure intermediate between that of a standard host–guest complex and a sandwich complex. In the structure of complex I, the crystallographic plane with symmetry m passes through the I₃ ^– anion (perpendicularly to its axis) and complex cation. The coordination polyhedron of the Rb⁺ cation is a strongly distorted hexagonal pyramid with the O atom of one crown ligand at the axial vertex and a base of six O atoms of another DB18C6 crown ligand.
