Iodine chloride is an interhalogen compound with the formula ICl. Because of the difference in the electronegativity of iodine and chlorine, ICl is highly polar and behaves as a source of I+.
Iodine monochloride is an interhalogen compound. It forms various complexes with ethyl, isopropyl and t-butylbenzenes. Electrically conducting solution of ICl is obtained on dissolution of ICl in polar solvents. ICl is a green oxidizing agent and participates in the following transformations.
