Question:

In their paper ‘Recent discoveries of polyhalogen anions— from bromine to fluorine’ (Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem., 2014, 640, 7, 1281), H. Haller and S. Riedel described the synthesis and structure elucidation of several new polyhalide ions. 

(a) Outline the synthetic strategies that enabled these polyhalide ions to be synthesized. 

(b) Sketch the structures of the Br5+, Br133−, and Cl7 ions.

(c) Referring to earlier work on polyiodides, discuss how I3 units coordinate to build up polyiodides.
