Iodine monochloride is an interhalogen compound. It forms various complexes with ethyl, isopropyl and t-butylbenzenes. Equilibrium constants for the formation of these complexes have been evaluated. It affords electrically conducting solution on dissolution in polar solvents. Its reaction with thymidine, 3-mono- and 3,3',5'-trialkylsubstitued thymidine showed that it helps in deglycosylation, anomerization and isomerization of thymidine.
