Synthesis and crystallographic characterization of NO 2 -C 6 H 4 -I(NTf 2 ) 2 (NTf 2 = bistriflimide) is reported. Experimental results find that this compound can perform oxidation reactions that ArI(OTf) 2 is unable to and theoretical analysis indicates Ar-I(NTf 2 ) 2 is the most oxidizing in the ArIL 2 class of compounds known and may also be the most oxidizing compound in the class practically possible.
