The polyiodide species I-...I2...I- surrounded by four dications of Bis(trimethylammonium)hexane diiodide.
ABSTRACT
Bis(trimethylammonium)hexane diiodide encapsulates iodine from solution and through a gas/solid reaction yielding in a predictable and controllable manner the selective formation of the rare polyiodide species I-...I?I...I-, which matches in length to the chosen dication.
