COORDINATION CHEMISTRY OF IODINE(I) WITH TETRAAZAMACROCYCLES OR MONODENTATE LIGANDS - COMPARISONS WITH BROMINE(I) AND WITH SOME D-BLOCK METALS

Co-ordination compounds of iodine(I), including those with tetraazamac rocyclic ligands, have been prepared either by direct reaction with th e [I(NCMe)(2)](+) cation or by the previously reported ligand-induced disproportionation reaction of I-2. The syntheses and the properties o f the iodine complexes so prepared are compared with analogous work in volving bromine, iron(II) or copper(II).
