trimethylbromine difluoride type chemicals
IF5... interesting compound.
Three of the fluorines covalent, the other two ionic...?
Anyway, is it possible to have three of the fluorine atoms replaced by organic groups, giving a chemical like IF2(CH3)3 or something like it?
Or am I just making a fool of meself?
Wildest speculation I... not realy... well... ever had.

with the evolution of chlorine.

Interhalogen compounds are incredibly reactive. Reacting IF5 with most any organic compound is going to cause it to behave as a fluorinating agent
generating HF gas and substituting F into the organic molecule. BTW, I believe all the bonds in iodine pentafluoride are equivalent.

hmmmm...
Oh. Sorry about typing bromine instead of iodine.
But still. If you disregard the problem of making it, what would it be like.
I'm guessing flammable, sensetive, and a fuming toxic liquid.

Re: Halogen fluorides
What about IF7 ? It is the principal product of direct combination of iodine with a surplus of fluorine gas, and is more stable than IF5 (which
disproportionates to IF7 and lower fluorides). All 7 Fs are equivalent, in a pentagonal bipyramid structure in which the Fs are alternately at the
apices and in the pentagon. I think the IF6+ cation has also been isolated as salts.
ClF5 and BrF5 exist, but for steric reasons, ClF7 is unlikely ever to be made. The ClF6+ ion, isoelectronic with SF6, has been recently isolated,
though. BrF7 is also unlikely for both steric reasons and the great reluctance of Br to be oxidized to the +7 state (perbromates (VII) only fairly
recently have been produced).

Mmmm...
How could one get IF6+ ions?
