Institut fiir Anorganische und Analytische Chemie, Technische UniversitHt Berlin, StraSe des 17. Juni 135, D-1000 Berlin 12, F.R.G. (Received 20 July 1989 ; accepted 3 August 1989) Abstract-The new iodoammonium salts o-CsH4(NH2)21+I- (1) and o-C6H4(NH2)21+ AsF, (2) were prepared by reaction of o-phenylene diamine with I2 or I:AsF,, respectively. Compound 1 reacts with AlI yielding quantitatively the corresponding tetraiodoaluminate o-C,jH4(NH2)21+AlI; (3). The species were characterized by chemical analysis, vibrational (IR and Raman) and temperature-dependent ‘H NMR spectropscopy. Direct evidence for a N-I bond was found in the Raman spectra of 1, 2 and 3 (v(N1) = 599600 cm- ‘).
Compounds containing the free monoatomic cation, I+, in the condensed phase are still unknown. ’ However, the I+ cation can be stabilized by coordination and both 1: 1 and 1: 2 adducts of pyridine 2-4 and nitriles’ are known and may be prepared, via the disproportionation of iodine with nitriles or pyridine, respectively [eq.

(1) On the other hand, the reaction of ammonia with I:AsF, leads to the formation of N13, NH: AsF, and 12.6 As far as we are aware no iodoammonium salt has been prepared prior to this work. The reaction behaviour of I+ toward chalcogens and chalcogen-containing compounds is well known. However, the reactivity of “I+” towards compounds of group 15 is not very well established. For instance, I:AsF, reacts with elemental selenium yielding SeI$ AsF; .7 It also reacts with (CH3)2S giving (CH3)$I+AsF, .’ Quite recently the oxidation of iodine by MoF6 and UF6 in acetonitrile affording I(CH,CN):MF; (M = MO, v) was reported. ‘9’ We were particularly interested in the reaction behaviour of I: (and other “I+” sources) towards organic amines, especially with respect to the synthesis of novel iodoammonium salts.

EXPERIMENTAL Iodine (Merck) and AlI (Aldrich) were used as commercially avaiable. o-Phenylene diamine (Merck) was recrystallized twice from acetonitrile.

(3) The hexafluoroarsenate species, 2, was obtained by reaction of the amine with 1: AsF; [eq. (2)]. Complex 1 was converted into the tetraiodoaluminate salt, 3, by reaction with one equivalent of AlI according to eq. (4) : 1+A113 sq,

(3) Complexes 1, 2 and 3 were identified by chemical analysis (C, H, N), ‘H NMR, IR, Raman and mass spectroscopy. The quality of the elemental analyses varies and only freshly prepared samples give satisfying results ; dependent on technique, too low C/H/N values (especially for the AlI; salt) were often observed (probably due to carbide or nitride formation). Thermodynamic
aspects
On the basis of a simple Born-Haber cycle (Scheme 1) (using a similar approach to that described in ref. 10) we estimated that a reaction according to eq. (2) should be thermodynamically favourable (AH = - 59 kcal mol- ‘). The BornHaber cycle estimate for AH0 for the reaction indicates that nitrogen is a better base towards I+ than I’. Therefore the cationic N-I species should be thermodynamically more stable than neutral compounds. This is in good agreement with the experimental results described above. Vibrational spectroscopy
Direct evidence for N-I bonds was found in the Raman spectra of all compounds. The most intense peak at 599-600 cm-’ can be attributed to a N-I stretching mode (Fig. 1). Both, the shift to higher wavenumbers compared with the neutral tetracoordinatedNI,*NH,(v, = 378cr~‘)‘~due to the stronger N-I bond in the cationic species and the similarity to the isoelectronic carbon derivative (CH31, v(C1) = 523 cm-‘)” are in good agreement with the formulated N-I bond. ‘H NMR spectroscopy

temperature spectrum of 2 shows one resonance in the aromatic CH region (7.42 ppm), which can be explained by intermolecular NH proton exchange (Fig. 2). As 2 is the only example with an iodine-free anion it may have the most ionic character, which probably favours the intermolecular exchange reactions. Moreover, the ‘H

NMR spectrum of 2 (Fig. 2) shows a reversible temperature dependence. At low temperature resonances appear due to both the NH protons (“singlet”) and the aromatic protons (multiplet, AA’XX’ pattern). The equivalence of the NH protons in all three compounds can be easily explained by the equilibrium of the cations according to eq. (5) and rapid exchange reactions :
