Iodite
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.
Iodites (including iodous acid) are highly unstable and have been observed but never isolated.[citation needed] They will rapidly disproportionate to molecular iodine and iodates. However, they have been detected as intermediates in the conversion between iodide and iodate.
Iodine can assume oxidation states of −1, +1, +3, +5, or +7. A number of neutral iodine oxides are also known.
