γ‐HIO 3 – a Metastable, Centrosymmetric Polymorph of Iodic Acid

Abstract From solutions of chromium(III) perchlorate and periodic acid, single crystals of γ‐HIO 3 were obtained and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and thermal analysis. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system, space group Pbca ( a = 563.92...

Summary:Abstract From solutions of chromium(III) perchlorate and periodic acid, single crystals of γ‐HIO 3 were obtained and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and thermal analysis. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system, space group Pbca ( a = 563.92, b = 611.10, c = 1507.16 pm). The structure is built up by dimers (HIO 3 ) 2 , which are formed by hydrogen bonds. The crystals are metastable and transform into the stable modification, α‐HIO 3 , within a couple of weeks.
