Structures of Interhalogen Compounds and Polyhalides

摘要: Publisher Summary The two classes of compounds have in common that they are, or contain, complexes halogen atoms; the interhalogen are electrically neutral polyhalogen complexes, polyhalides contain negatively charged polyhalide ions. Recently, also some positive been discovered, for instance BrF2+, IClz+a nd IF4+; these will be included discussion complexes. formulas were not well understood from point view classical valence rules; a challenge application modern theories valency. During last years, many structures elucidated and theoretical interpretations them proposed. This work main subject present review. In Section I1, survey given existing Their chemical physical properties discussed only outline, but fairly complete account is their stability structures. 111, various compared.
