Notes:
In the structure of triiodomesitylene (1,3,5-triiodo-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene), C9H9I3, at 293 K, the benzene ring is found to be significantly distorted from ideal D6h symmetry; the average endocyclic angles facing the I atoms and the methyl groups are 123.8 (3) and 116.2 (3)°, respectively. The angle between the normal to the molecular plane and the normal to the (100) plane is 5.1°. No disorder was detected at 293 K. The thermal motion was investigated by a rigid-body motion tensor analysis. Intra- and intermolecular contacts are described and topological differences compared with the isomorphous compounds trichloromesitylene and tribromomesitylene are discussed.
