The 127I Mössbauer spectra of a series of mono- and diaryliodine(III) carboxylates have been recorded at 4.2 K. The observed parameters are shown to be strongly dependent on the primary bonding arrangement about iodine only and the secondary bonding interactions have little or no effect. The crystal and molecular structure of bis(trifluoroacetato)pentafluorophenyliodine(III), (C6F5)I(O2CCF3)2, has been determined. Crystals are triclinic, of space group [Formula: see text], witsh a = 5.732(2) Å, b = 12.127(4) Å, c = 29.658(9) Å, α = 116.53(2)°, β = 98.02(2)°, γ = 117.09(2)°, V = 1482.0(8) Å3, Dc = 2.33 g cm−3 for Z = 4, and R1 = 0.0420 (R2 = 0.0431) for 2722 reflections with I > 3σ(I). The two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit have essentially the same primary geometry about the central iodine, a distorted T-shaped AX3E2 arrangement. Keywords: 127I Mössbauer, aryliodine(III) carboxylates, crystal structure, (C6F5)I(O2CCF3)2.
