Iodine

I: [Kr] 4d10 5s2 p5

Oxidation states: 7, 5, 3, 1, and -1Geometry: Orthorhombic

Discovered in 1811, by Bernard Courtois, France

From the Greek word "iodes" meaning "violet"

He isolated iodine from treating seaweed ash with sulphuric acid (H2SO4)while recovering sodium and potassium compounds.

Iodine exhibits some metallic-like properties.

Group 17 (Halogens)

Hypervalent Iodine: Timeline

1886 Ph-ICl2 prepared by Willgerodt

Since 1990, ‘‘rediscovery’’ of hypervalent organoiodine compounds

- Applied to total synthesis of a large number of natural products- Many reviews lately- Use extended to various processes

Why?

- similar reactivity to Hg(II), Tl(III), and Pb(IV)- similarities (reductive elimination, ligand exchange, etc.) with organic transition metal complexes- PhI(OAc)2 is commercially available

1914 Nearly 500 compounds known.
