Synthesis
editReaction 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
editDiiodosyl 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
editUnder 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 + 2SO3 → I2(SO4)3
With concentrated sulfuric acid, it forms an acidic salt:
- (IO)2SO4 + H2SO4 → 2 IOHSO4
