The I—I bond distance in I2 (gas phase) is 267 pm, in the [I3]+ ion is 268 pm, and in [13 j– is 290 pm (for the [AsPh4]1 salt),
(a) Draw Lewis structures for these species. Do these representations account for the variation in bond distance?
(b) Use MO theory to describe the bonding and deduce the I—I bond order in each species. Are your results consistent with the structural data?
