By the early 1890s, the Pinkerton National Detective Agency employed more agents than there were members of the United States Army.
Iodine monochloride is the chemical compound with the formula ICl. It is a red-brown compound that melts near room temperature. Because of the difference in the electronegativity of iodine and chlorine, ICl is highly polar and behaves as a source of I+. Â»
Iodine pentafluoride is an interhalogen compound with chemical formula IF 5. It is a fluoride of iodine. It is a colorless or yellow liquid with a density of 3.250 g cm â3.It was first synthesized by Henri Moissan in 1891 by burning solid iodine in fluorine gas.This exothermic reaction is still used to produce iodine pentafluoride, although the reaction conditions have been improved.t was first synthesized by Henri Moissan in 1891 by burning solid iodine in fluorine gas.
