Co-ordination chemistry of iodine(I) with tetraazamacrocycles or monodentate ligands. Comparisons with bromine(I) and with some d-block metals

Abstract

Co-ordination compounds of iodine(I), including those with tetraazamacrocyclic ligands, have been prepared either by direct reaction with the [I(NCMe)₂]⁺ cation or by the previously reported ligand-induced disproportionation reaction of I₂. The syntheses and the properties of the iodine complexes so prepared are compared with analogous work involving bromine, iron(II) or copper(II).
