De structuur van I2Cl6(ICl3)

In the introduction some chemical and physico-chemical properties of the interhalogen compounds are reviewed. Making use of existing thermodynamical data their stability is discussed in some more detail. The interhalogens, especially the higher ones, stimulated theoretical speculations about their structures. For the greater part the recent structure investigations on these compounds, however, are not in agreement with the theoretically proposed structures. A contribution to the structure chemistry of the interhalogen compounds has been given by the determination of the crystal structure of ICI3 by means of X-ray methods. Zie: Summary
