We have applied new methods for performing coupled‐cluster calculations to small molecules containing iodine atoms; specifically, NI 3 and N 2 I 4 . Because NI 3 is known to be very reactive, attempts to measure its thermodynamic properties have been challenging at best. To date, N 2 I 4 has not been isolated, and our results suggest that its isolation will be just as challenging. We find that the Δ H f (NI 3 )=+307.7 kJ mol −1 and Δ H f (N 2 I 4 )=+551.6 kJ mol −1 , confirming that they are unstable with respect to their decomposition products N 2 and I 2 .
