Diiodosyl sulfate is an inorganic compound, a basic salt of iodine and sulfuric acid with the formula (IO)2SO4. It forms yellow crystals.[1]

Synthesis

[edit]

Reaction of iodic and sulfuric acids :

2 HIO3 + H2SO4 → (IO)2SO4 + O2 + 2 H2O

Passing ozonized oxygen through a solution of iodine in sulfuric acid:

I2 + 3 O3 + H2SO4 → (IO)2SO4 + 3 O2 + H2O

Physical properties

[edit]

Diiodosyl sulfate forms yellow hygroscopic crystals and is poorly soluble in cold water.[2]

It dissolves in and can be recrystallized from concentrated sulfuric acid.

Chemical properties

[edit]

Under the influence of atmospheric moisture, diiodosyl sulfate hydrolyzes with the release of iodine, iodic and sulfuric acids.

It decomposes when heated:[3]

4(IO) 2 SO 4 → 2I2O5 + 2I2 + 4SO3 + O2

It reacts with sulfur trioxide:[4]

(IO)2SO4 + 2SO3I2(SO4)3

With concentrated sulfuric acid, it forms an acidic salt:

(IO)2SO4 + H2SO4 → 2 IOHSO4
