An iodide ion is the ion I −. [2] Compounds with iodine in formal oxidation state −1 are called iodides.In everyday life, iodide is most commonly encountered as a component of iodized salt, which many governments mandate.

Most metal iodides with the metal in low oxidation states (+1 to +3) are ionic. Nonmetals tend to form covalent molecular iodides, as do metals in high oxidation states from +3 and above. Both ionic and covalent iodides are known for metals in oxidation state +3 (e.g. scandium iodide is mostly ionic, but aluminium iodide is not).
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. In terms of chemical behavior, λ 3 ‑ and λ 5 ‑iodanes are generally oxidizing and/or electrophilic species. They have been widely applied towards those ends in organic synthesis. [1]
• The -1 oxidation state, hydrogen iodide, is not an oxide, but it is included in this table for completeness. The periodates include two variants: metaperiodate IO − 4 and orthoperiodate IO 5− 6.
The iodide is regenerated, meaning the reaction runs with the iodide/hypoiodite as a catalyst in the presence of excess of the original strong oxidizing agent. Ammonium hypoiodites are capable of oxidizing benzylic methyl groups, [ 2 ] initiating oxidative dearomatization , [ 3 ] and oxidative decarboxylation of β-keto lactones . [ 4 ]
For example, in the molecules represented by CH 3 X, where X is a halide, the carbon-X bonds have strengths, or bond dissociation energies, of 115, 83.7, 72.1, and 57.6 kcal/mol for X = fluoride, chloride, bromide, and iodide, respectively. [2] Of the halides, iodide usually is the best leaving group.
