title: Anhydrides of real and hypothetical [hydroxy(R-O)iodo]benzenes.
abstract: The anhydrides of [hydroxy(methanesulfonato-O)]iodobenzene (HMIB) and [hydroxy(toluenesulfonato-O)]iodobenzene (HTIB) were prepared by drying acetonitrile solutions of the compounds. The anhydrides of the hypothetical compounds [hydroxy(chloroacetato)-O]iodobenzene and [hydroxy(iodoacetato)-O]iodobenzene were obtained from aqueous solutions. Crystallographic structures were obtained for the anhydrides, except that of HTIB. The electron-domain geometries of the I atoms vis-a-vis secondary I...O bonds were explored. The presence of delocalized bonding in groupings of O and I atoms was suggested. A linear relationship between the C-I-O angles and the I-O bond orders was observed.
