Chemical compound
Hypoiodous acid is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula HOI. It forms when an aqueous solution of iodine is treated with mercuric or silver salts. It rapidly decomposes by disproportionation:[2]
5 HIO → HIO3 + 2 I2 + 2 H2O
Hypoiodous acid is a weak acid with a p_K_a of about 11. The conjugate base is hypoiodite (IO−). Salts of this anion can be prepared by treating I2 with alkali hydroxides. They rapidly disproportionate to form iodides and iodates.[2]
Ammonium hypoiodites can be formed by oxiation of the analogous iodide salts. These and also sodium hypoiodite are useful as oxidizing agents for a various types of organic compounds.
Hypoiodite is one of the active oxidizing agents generated by lactoperoxidase as part of the mamalian innate immune system.[3]
Hypoiodous acid is part of a series of oxyacids in which iodine can assume oxidation states of −1, +1, +3, +5, or +7. A number of neutral iodine oxides are also known.
