Abstract
A selective review of the presently known binary chlorine -, bromine -, and iodine - fluorides is given. Their syntheses, physical and chemical properties, and structures are discussed. Their tendencies to form adducts with Lewis acids and bases are compared, and the structures and relative stabilities of the resulting halogen fluoride ions are summarized. Force constant data are used to demonstrate the occurrence of two types of bonding (semi-ionic and mainly covalent) in this class of compounds and a new rule (described as rule III in the text) is given which allows their prediction and rationalization.
