The iodate fluorides are chemical compounds which contain both iodate and fluoride anions (IO<sub>3</sub><sup>âÂÂ</sup> and F<sup>âÂÂ</sup>). In these compounds fluorine is not bound to iodine as it is in fluoroiodates.
Iodate fluorides are under investigation for the non-linear optical properties. The lack of symmetry is enhanced by the lone pair of electrons on the iodate group.
