Abstract

The I127 NMR absorption line of iodide ion in aqueous solution is broadened by the presence of iodine molecules. The broadening is consistent with the diminution of phase-memory time caused by strong quadrupole coupling in triiodide ion, which occurs in dynamic equilibrium. On the basis of a simple bimolecular mechanism, the rate constants for the forward and reverse reactions of the triiodide equilibrium at ca 35°C are (4.1±0.4) × 1010 l/mole-sec and (7.6±0.8) × 107 sec—1 in the concentration ranges which have been investigated.
