Synthesis and crystallographic characterization of NO₂-C₆H₄-I(NTf₂)₂ (NTf₂ = bistriflimide) is reported. Experimental results find that this compound can perform oxidation reactions that ArI(OTf)₂ is unable to and theoretical analysis indicates Ar-I(NTf₂)₂ is the most oxidizing in the ArIL₂ class of compounds known and may also be the most oxidizing compound in the class practically possible.
