Iodine heptafluoride
Iodine heptafluoride, also known as iodine(VII) fluoride or even iodine fluoride, is the compound IF7[1][2]. It has an unusual pentagonal bipyramidal structure, as predicted by VSEPR theory.[3] The molecule can undergo a pseudorotational rearangment like the Berry mechanism but for a hepta coordinated system.[4] It forms colorless crystals, which melt at 4.5°C: the liquid range is extremely narrow, with the boiling point at 4.77°C. The dense vapor has a moldy, acrid odor. Additional recommended knowledgePreparationIF7 is prepared by passing F2 through liquid IF5 at 90 °C, then heating the vapors to 270 °C. Alternately, this compound can be prepared from fluorine and dried PdI2 or KI to minimize the formation of IOF5, an impurity arising by hydrolysis.[5] [6] Safety considerationsIF7 is highly irritating to both the skin and the mucous membranes.
