4-Isopropyl-4′-methyldiphenyliodonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate(CAT: M039690) is a specialized iodonium salt widely used as a photoacid generator and arylating agent in organic and materials chemistry. Its structure features a hypervalent iodine center bonded to two substituted phenyl rings, paired with a non-coordinating, weakly nucleophilic tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate anion for enhanced stability and solubility. This compound is particularly valuable in photoinitiated polymerization, lithography, and synthesis of functionalized aromatic compounds via aryl transfer reactions. The electron-deficient borate counterion improves ionic dissociation, enabling high efficiency in cationic processes.
