Abstract
Synthesis and crystallographic characterization of NO2–C6H4–I(NTf2)2 (NTf2 = bistriflimide) is reported. Experimental results find that this compound can perform oxidation reactions that ArI(OTf)2 is unable to and theoretical analysis indicates Ar–I(NTf2)2 is the most oxidizing in the ArIL2 class of compounds known and may also be the most oxidizing compound in the class practically possible.
