Iodine oxide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Iodine oxides are chemical compounds of oxygen and iodine. There exist multiple oxides as iodine has more than one oxidation state.

The iodine oxide free radical (IO) is a known ozone depletion agent.[2] Atmospheric compounds containing iodine form iodine radicals which react with ozone to form iodine oxide radicals (IO) and oxygen. The IO radicals in turn participate in other ozone-consuming reactions. It is a purple gas.
