Abstract

Crystallographic characterization of NO2-C6H4-I(NTf)2 (NTF = 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(NTf)2 is the most oxidizing in the ArIL2 class of compound known and may also be the most oxidizing compound in the class practically possible.
