“…The spectrum of [AsPh 4 ][Cl(BrCl) 3 ] reveals three unresolved bands at 392, 376, and 363 cm −1 in the Br–Cl stretching region (Figure , top trace). These bands are shifted to lower wavenumbers relative to free BrCl (434 cm −1 ) as a consequence of the elongation and weakening of the BrCl bond. A computed spectrum at the B3LYP‐D3/def2‐TZVPP level of an undistorted heptainterhalide of C 3 v symmetry is shown in Figure S6.…”
Due to a more distinct σ-hole, BrCl is able to form stronger halogen bonds than those in polyhalogen anions based on Cl and Br . This stabilization allows the crystallographic characterization of a variety of new polyinterhalides, in which chloride functions as the central ion as shown by the molecular structures of [AsPh ][Cl(BrCl) ] and [CCl(NMe ) ][Cl(BrCl) ]. Furthermore, the solid-state structure of an octahedrally coordinated nonclassical interhalide is reported for the first time. The tridecainterhalide monoanion [Cl(BrCl) ] consists of a central chloride ion, which is coordinated by six BrCl molecules in a slightly distorted octahedral structure. All new compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), NMR and Raman spectroscopy, as well as quantum-chemical calculations.

“…These two bands can be explained by two symmetric stretching vibrations of two crystallographically independent [Cl(BrCl)] − anions, which differ in bond lengths and angles (241.8(1), 235.7(1) pm, 174.8(1)°; 240.4(1), 239.1(1) pm, 179.1(1)°). These bands are most shifted to lower wavenumbers in comparison to free BrCl (434 cm −1 ) [42] due to the 3c−4e bond in the trihalide. Quantum chemical calculations for the trihalide in D ∞ h symmetry at the SCS‐MP2/def2‐TZVPP level of theory predict one band for the symmetrical stretching vibration at 270 cm −1 ( A 1 g ), which agrees well with the experimental results.…”
The use of neat BrCl in organic and inorganic chemistry is limited due to its gaseous aggregate state and especially its decomposition into Cl 2 andB r 2 .T he stabilization of BrCl in form of reactive ionic liquidsv ia an ovel in situ synthesis route shifts this equilibrium drastically to the BrCl side, which leads to safer and easier-to-handle interha-logenation reagents. Furthermore, the crystallined erivatives of the hitherto unknown [Cl(BrCl) 2 ] À and [Cl(BrCl) 4 ] À anions were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), Ramana nd IR spectroscopy,a sw ell as quantum chemical calculations.
“…The spectroscopic measurement of the interhalogen iodine compounds (ICl, IBr, and BrCl) have been measured using infrared (IR) spectroscopic methods (1-4). 28,29,30,31 The band center of ICl lies at 381 cm −1 , 30,31 which is in the far-infrared region.…”
