Detailed Structural Characterization of the Polyvalent Iminoiodinanes Arints (Ar=c6H5 or 2,4,6-Me(3)C(6)H(2) Ts=so2C6H4-4-Me) and the Aryldichloroiodinane 2,4,6-I-Pr3C6H2Icl2
The growth of crystals suitable for X-ray crystallography has resulted in the first complete structural characterizations of two iminoiodinanes PhINTs, 1, and MesINTs, 2 (Mes = 2,4,6-Me(3)C(6)H(2); Ts = SO2C6H4-4-Me). Two different types of structures were observed. They consist of monomeric ArINTs units, bridged either by I ... N interactions 2.482(2) Angstrom in length in the case of 1 or by long (2.857(4) Angstrom) I ... O interactions in the case of 2. The structural parameters of 1 and 2 show that the intramolecular I-N distance is consistent with a single bond and that the structures are probably best represented by resonance forms that feature negative charge at the oxygens and positive charge at iodine. Compounds 1 and 2 are closely related to the iodosylaryls, ArIO, and their structures lend further weight to the proposed associated structures of these oxygen derivatives which are thought to have a backbone composed of an -I-O ... I-O- bridging array. The structure of TripICl(2) (Trip = 2,4,6-i-Pr3C6H2), 3, shows that the iodine center has T-shaped geometry and that the molecules are very weakly associated in the solid state through a long I ... Cl interaction of 3.490(2) Angstrom.
