Iodine pentoxide is the chemical compound with the formula I 2 O 5. This iodine oxide is the anhydride of iodic acid , and one of the few iodine oxides that is stable. It is produced by dehydrating iodic acid at 200 °C in a stream of dry air: [ 1 ]
Iodine pentoxide (I 2 O 5) Iodine oxides are chemical compounds of oxygen and iodine. Iodine has only two stable oxides which are isolatable in bulk, iodine tetroxide and iodine pentoxide, but a number of other oxides are formed in trace quantities or have been hypothesized to exist. The chemistry of these compounds is complicated with only a ...
Structure of iodine pentoxide. Iodine oxides are the most stable of all the halogen oxides, because of the strong I–O bonds resulting from the large electronegativity difference between iodine and oxygen, and they have been known for the longest time. [11] The stable, white, hygroscopic iodine pentoxide (I 2 O 5) has
Structure of iodine pentoxide. Iodine oxides are the most stable of all the halogen oxides, because of the strong I–O bonds resulting from the large electronegativity difference between iodine and oxygen, and they have been known for the longest time.

When heated above 150 °C, decomposition into diiodine pentoxide can be observed: 2 I 2 O 6 → 2 I 2 O 5 + O 2. The compound is diamagnetic, which is attributed to the different oxidation numbers of the iodine atoms. [2] Structurally, the compound is iodyl periodate, an iodine(V,VII) oxide approximating IO 2 + IO 4 −. [2]
Iodic acid is a white water-soluble solid with the chemical formula HIO 3. Its robustness contrasts with the instability of chloric acid and bromic acid. Iodic acid features iodine in the oxidation state +5 and is one of the most stable oxo-acids of the halogens. When heated, samples dehydrate to give iodine pentoxide. On further heating, the ...
Diiodine tetraoxide is a yellow, granular powder. At temperatures above 85 °C it decomposes to diiodine pentoxide and iodine: [2] 5I 2 O 4 → 4I 2 O 5 + I 2. This process is even faster at 135 °C. It dissolves in hot water to form iodate and iodide. [2]
These iodine compounds are hypervalent because the iodine atom formally contains in its valence shell more than the 8 electrons required for the octet rule. Hypervalent iodine oxyanions are known for oxidation states +1, +3, +5, and +7; organic analogues of these moieties are known for each oxidation state except +7.
