Abstract

The role of the first excited state of oxygen (1D) is proven essential for the description of terminal iodine-oxygen chemical bonds. The description of the I-O bond as a dative one from iodine to O(1D) provides a simple and accurate picture which explains the oxidation properties of iodosobenzene and similar in nature molecules.
