The Wijs solution, iodine monochloride dissolved in acetic acid, is used to determine the iodine value of a substance. It can also be used to prepare iodates, by reaction with a chlorate. Chlorine is released as a byproduct. Iodine monochloride is a Lewis acid that forms 1:1 adducts with Lewis bases such as dimethylacetamide and benzene.
Iodine trichloride, which exists in the solid state as the planar dimer I 2 Cl 6, is a bright yellow solid, synthesised by reacting iodine with liquid chlorine at −80 °C; caution is necessary during purification because it easily dissociates to iodine monochloride and chlorine and hence can act as a strong chlorinating agent.

Iodine monochloride (ICl) exists as red transparent crystals that melt at 27.2 °C to form a choking brownish liquid (similar in appearance and weight to bromine). It reacts with HCl to form the strong acid HICl 2. The crystal structure of iodine monochloride consists of puckered zig-zag chains, with strong interactions between the chains.
Such a triglyceride has a high iodine value (approx. 119). Below, the reaction product after the addition of four equivalents of iodine or bromine to the four C=C double bonds of the unsaturated fatty acid residues. The determination of iodine value is a particular example of iodometry. A solution of iodine I 2 is yellow/brown in color.
Iodic acid can be produced by oxidizing iodine with strong oxidizers such as nitric acid, chlorine, chloric acid or hydrogen peroxide, [3] for example: I 2 + 6H 2 O + 5Cl 2 ⇌ 2HIO 3 + 10HCl. Iodic acid is also produced by the reaction of iodine monochloride with water: 5ICl + 3H 2 O → 5HCl + HIO 3 + 2I 2
For example, Iodotyrosine deiodinase is a mammalian enzyme with the unusual function of aerobic reductive dehalogenation of iodine- or bromine-substituted organic substrates. [6] Bromoxynil and ioxynil herbicides have been shown to undergo a variety of environmental transformations, including reductive dehalogenation by anaerobic bacteria.
A compound with iodine(V) would be a λ 5 ‑iodane, and a hypothetical iodine(VII)‑containing compound would be a λ 7 ‑iodane. Organyl-iodine ethers, a kind of λ 3 ‑iodane, are sometimes called organic hypoiodites. Alternatively, the hypervalent iodines can be classified using neutral electron counting.
