Anhydro-iodic acid, HI3O8, is an adduct of iodic acid and iodine pentoxide, i.e. HIO3·I2O5. It is formed by the partial dehydration of iodic acid at about 100 °C, or by absorption of water by iodine pentoxide.[1][Note 2] It can be dehydrated to I2O5 by heating in dry air to about 200 °C.[1]

Notes and references

Notes

  1. Hazards were assessed as for an equimolar mixture of iodic acid[3] and iodine pentoxide.[4]
  2. Commercial "I2O5" is said to be essentially anhydro-iodic acid.[1]
