Description
Summary:Hypervalent iodine compounds -1(111) and I(V) - are well documented and have been known to exist for over 100 years. The compounds have many synthetic applications, for instance acting as mild oxidising agents. Of the iodine (HI) class, alkenylaryliodonium salts have received much less attention than other species. As a result the preparation and uses of these compounds are less well understood. Advancing our knowledge in the chemistry of iodonium salts, specifically alkenylaryliodonium salts, is important in utilising the unique chemical and structural properties of such compounds.
