The synthesis of various asymmetric and symmetric diaryliodonium salts containing NO2 groups will be presented.  Exchange of the labile ligand with different aryl amines followed by thermal decomposition leads to N-substituted aryl ammoniums. Contrary to other nucleophiles, the aryl amines couple to the more electron-rich aryl group of the iodonium salt.  This presentation focuses on the preparation and characterization of the ammonium diaryl iodonium complexes and their thermal reductive eliminations.
