First observation of the elusive iodocarbene: ground state multiplicity and singlet-triplet gap of CHI.
We report the first observation of iodocarbene (CHI) using fluorescence excitation and emission spectroscopy, which indicate a singlet ground state and a lower bound to the singlet-triplet gap of 3.76 kcal mol(-1).
