The cyclic structure of 2-iodosyl- and 2-iodyl-benzoic acid anions: a basicity and X-ray crystallographic study
Abstract
The crystal structures of sodium 2-iodosyl-4-nitrobenzoate and sodium 2-iodyl-4-nitrobenzoate demonstrate a bicyclic structure for each, pKa, considerations indicate that the anions remain cyclized in solution. The crystal structure of 2-iodyl-5-methylbenzoic acid has also been obtained.
