1-Ethoxy-2-iodobenzene is a model complex that has been used to study the interactions between copper ions and chlorine atoms. The complexes are found in the chlorobenzene molecule, which is itself an organometallic compound. The covalent bonds in this complex are unsymmetrical, with a higher electron density on the carbon atom of the ethoxy group. 1-Ethoxy-2-iodobenzene has been shown to be carcinogenic, inducing mutations in ovary cells. This may be due to its interaction with DNA and interference with transcription.
