Synthesis, NMR and Vibrational Spectroscopic Characterization, and Computational Study of the cis-IO2F32- Anion (Preprint)
Abstract
The N(CH3)4+ salt of the cis-IO2F3(exp 2-) anion was synthesized from [N(CH3)4][IO2F2] and excess [N(CH3)4][F] in CH3CN solvent. The [N(CH3)4]2[IO2F3] salt was characterized by Raman, infrared, and 19F solid-state MAS NMR spectroscopy. Geometry optimization and calculation of the vibrational frequencies at the DFT level of theory corroborated the experimental finding that the IO2F32- anion exists as a single isomer with a cis-dioxo and mer-trifluoro arrangement. The fluorine atom in IO2F3(exp 2-) that is trans to one of the oxygen atoms is very weakly bound with a calculated bond length of 228.1 pm. The IO2F32- anion is only the second example of an AEO2F3 species after XeO2F3-.
