Potassium biiodate, KH(IO3)2, is a primary standard strong acid in analytical chemistry.[4][5]

Chemistry
The biiodate anion is a hydrogen-bonded species formed from the reaction of an iodate anion with undissociated iodic acid (pKa = 0.75).[6]
- IO−3 + HIO3 → [H(IO3)2]− Kc ≈ 4 dm3 mol−1
Hence, in dilute aqueous solutions, potassium biiodate can be considered to be a mixture of potassium iodate and iodic acid: however, it dissolves and recrystallizes coherently from water.[7]
Preparation
Potassium biiodate is commercially available in analytical grade. However it may be conveniently prepared by simply mixing hot concentrated solutions of potassium iodate and iodic acid and allowing the potassium biiodate to crystallize.
Ferroelectricity
Potassium biiodate forms a ferroelectric phase below the Curie point of TC = 223(2) K.[8] The second-order phase transition appears to be associated with the ordering of the hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure.[9]
