Abstract
Complex formation in systems containing 3-carboxypropyltriphenylphosphonium or tetraphenylphosphonium bromide, molecular iodine, and chloroform solution was compared. The maximum number of iodine molecules coordinated by bromides in the solution was established by spectrophotometric method using a function of average iodine number and the stability constants of the complexes were determined. The diiodobromide [(C6H5)4P]BrI2 was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. The ab initio calculations were performed for [Y(R)4]I3 (Y = N, P, As; R = CH3, C6H5). The obtained experimental data and the correlations with the results of quantum-chemical calculations revealed that the tetraphenylphosphonium cation binds diiodobromide anions through the terminal halogen atoms with equal probability.
