Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa).

The iodite ion, or iodine dioxide anion, is the halite with the chemical formula IO
2
. Within the ion, the iodine exists in the oxidation state of +3.

Iodite anion

[edit]

Iodites (including iodous acid) are highly unstable and have been observed[1] but never isolated.[citation needed] They will rapidly disproportionate to molecular iodine and iodates.[2] However, they have been detected as intermediates in the conversion between iodide and iodate.[3][4]

Other oxyanions

[edit]

Iodine can assume oxidation states of −1, +1, +3, +5, or +7. A number of neutral iodine oxides are also known.
