Answer by Martin - マーチン for How to rationalise the planar structre of I2Cl6?
The bonding situation in the compound $\ce{(ICl3)2}$ is by far more complex than what is depicted in this book. The molecule itself has very high symmetry, i.e. $D_\mathrm{2h}$, that needs to be...
View ArticleHow to rationalise the planar structre of I2Cl6?
$\ce{I2Cl6}$ is a dimer of $\ce{ICl3}$. $\ce{ICl3}$ is T-shaped, with $\ce{I}$ being $\mathrm{sp^3d}$ and having two lone pairs.I read in Inorganic Reaction Mechanisms by R. K. Sharma that $\ce{I2Cl6}$...
