Iodine heptafluoride is an interhalogen compound with the chemical formula I F₇.^[2]^[3] It has an unusual pentagonal bipyramidal structure, with D_5h symmetry, as predicted by VSEPR theory.^[4] The molecule can undergo a pseudorotational rearrangement called the Bartell mechanism, which is like the Berry mechanism but for a heptacoordinated system.^[5]

Below 4.5 °C, IF₇ forms a snow-white powder of colorless crystals, melting at 5-6 °C. However, this melting is difficult to observe, as the liquid form is thermodynamically unstable at 760 mmHg: instead, the compound begins to sublime at 4.77 °C. The dense vapor has a mouldy, acrid odour.^[6]^[7]

Preparation

IF₇ is prepared by passing F₂ through liquid IF₅ at 90 °C, then heating the vapours to 270 °C. Alternatively, this compound can be prepared from fluorine and dried palladium or potassium iodide to minimize the formation of IOF₅, an impurity arising by hydrolysis.^[8]Template:Sfn Iodine heptafluoride is also produced as a by-product when dioxygenyl hexafluoroplatinate is used to prepare other platinum(V) compounds such as potassium hexafluoroplatinate(V), using potassium fluoride in iodine pentafluoride solution:^[9]

2 O₂PtF₆ + 2 KF + IF₅ → 2 KPtF₆ + 2 O₂ + IF₇

Reactions

Iodine heptafluoride decomposes at 200 °C to fluorine gas and iodine pentafluoride.^[10]

Safety considerations

IF₇ is highly irritating to both the skin and the mucous membranes. It also is a strong oxidizer and can cause fire on contact with organic material.
