| Summary: | "Iodine is the heaviest nonradioactive element in the Periodic Table that is classified as a nonmetal, and it is the largest, the least electronegative, and the most polarizable of the halogens. It formally belongs to the main group, p-block elements; however, the bonding description, structural features, and reactivity of iodine compounds differ from the light main-group elements. Electronic structure of polyvalent iodine is best explained by the hypervalent model of bonding, and therefore, in modern literature, organic compounds of trivalent and pentavalent iodine are commonly named as hypervalent iodine compounds. The reactivity pattern of hypervalent iodine in many aspects is similar to the reactivity of transition metals, and the reactions of hypervalent iodine reagents are commonly discussed in terms of oxidative addition, ligand exchange, reductive elimination, and ligand coupling, which are typical of the transition metal chemistry"-- Provided by publisher. Up-to-date overview of an important class of chemical reagents Hypervalent Iodine Compounds provides a comprehensive overview of the preparation, properties and synthetic applications of this important class of organic reagents. |
