Modern level for properties prediction of iodine-containing organic compounds: the halogen bonds formed by iodine

Resumo

The modern concepts on specific features of anisotropy of the electron density of valence shells of bound atoms and chemical bonds providing the successful description of the properties of halogen bonds formed by the iodine molecule in compounds with useful physicochemical properties are generalized in the review. The prognoses of basicity by the diiodine basicity scale for the nitrogen-containing compounds are illustrated. The regularities and peculiarities of shifting bands in Raman spectra of iodine-containing organic crystals are considered. The methodical and specific problems of modeling appeared when the electronic characteristics of the iodine compounds are estimated and briefly discussed.
