In Situ Synthesis and Applications for Polyinterhalides Based on BrCl.

ABSTRACT: The use of neat BrCl in organic and inorganic chemistry is limited due to its gaseous aggregate state and especially its decomposition into Cl₂ and Br₂ . The stabilization of BrCl in form of reactive ionic liquids via a novel in situ synthesis route shifts this equilibrium drastically to the BrCl side, which leads to safer and easier-to-handle interhalogenation reagents. Furthermore, the crystalline derivatives of the hitherto unknown [Cl(BrCl)₂ ]^- and [Cl(BrCl)₄ ]^- anions were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman and IR spectroscopy, as well as quantum chemical calculations.
