The polyhalide ions in I£IC14.H20 (Mooney, 1937) and in N(CHs)4IC12 (Mooney, 1939) aroused our interest as the reported bond lengths are remarkably short in comparison with those in other polyhalide ions (Elema, de Boer & Vos, 1963).:Refinement of the crystal structure of KIC14.H~O (Elema et al., 1963) showed that the I-C1 bonds in the IC1 i-ion range from 2-42 to 2.60 A and are thus considerably longer than the value determined by Mooney, 2-34 A. It will appear from this paper that also in ICl~-the bonds are long.
