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, ?³ and ?⁵iodanes are generally oxidizing and/or electrophilic species. They have been widely applied towards those ends in organic synthesis.

Nomenclature

Several different naming conventions are in use for the hypervalent organoiodines.
