O-I-O halogen bond of halonium ions

• The reactivity of halonium ions is conveniently modulated by three-center, four-electron halogen bonds. Such stabilized halonium complexes are valuable reagents for oxidations and halofunctionalization reactions. We report the first example of the stabilization of a halenium ion in a three-center, four-electron halogen bond with two oxygen ligands. The influence of electron density and solvent on the stability of the complexes is assessed. O-I-O halogen bond complexes are applicable as synthetic reagents and as supramolecular synthons.
