First Isolation and Structural Characterization of N-base Adducts of Mono- and Perfluoroaryliodine(III) Compounds, ArfIX2(X = F, CN)

The adducts of aryliodinedifluorides ArfIF2, (Arf = C6F5; x-FC6H4, x = 2, 3, 4) and aryliodinedicyanide 4-FC6H4I(CN)2 with N-bases (phenanthroline, 2,2′-bipyridine, and quinoline) were isolated and characterized by their single crystal structure, Raman spectra, and their multi nuclear magnetic resonance spectra in solution. Their properties and their thermal decomposition are discussed with respect to the non-coordinated analogues.
