Abstract
Two different dicationic N-donors, based on the DABCO diamine, have been studied as templates for polyiodides. The results present a new strategy for polyiodide stabilization, which involves both N center dot center dot center dot I halogen bonding and cation-anion interactions. This is highlighted by the self-assembly of an unprecedented discrete pseudo-linear dodecaiodide species.
