Abstract

Reaction under defined conditions between aqueous silver nitrate and di-iodoalkanes with adjacent iodine atoms, such as CH2I2, CHI3, C2I4 or with di-iodobenzenes (1,2-; 1,4-) may give 1 : 1 solid adducts. Vibrational spectroscopy, solid-state NMR spectra and powder X-ray diffraction show that the organic molecules act as donor ligands. The known inverse compounds [XAg3](NO3)2 (X = Br,I) may also be formed conveniently from reactions of iodo-organic vapours with silver nitrate solutions. Compounds in the homologous series (CH2)nI2 (2 < n < 11) form the inverse compounds [XAgn](NO3)n-1 (n = 2 or 3) with aqueous silver nitrate under all conditions.
