(Phenyl­iodos­yl)benzene tosyl­ate dihydrate

ABSTRACT: The title compound is a λ5-di­aryl­iodosyl salt capable of sulfide oxidations. The structure of the title salt (systematic name: oxodiphenyl-λ5-iodanylium 4-methyl­benzene­sulfonate dihydrate), C12H10IO+·C7H7O3S−·2H2O, at 150 K, has monoclinic (P21/c) symmetry. The mol­ecular structure features an angular (phenyl­iodos­yl)benzene cation, the geometry of which was hitherto undescribed in the literature: in the cation, both I—C bonds are approximately normal to the I=O bond, forming a C—I—C angle of 95.36 (4)°. The crystal structure displays O—H⋯O, O—H⋯I and O—H⋯S hydrogen bonding.
