Iodine deficiency iodate as dough conditioner in bread and baked goods was gradually replaced by the use of other conditioning agents such as bromide. Iodine deficiency resulting in goiter occurs in 187 million people globally (2.7% of the population). It resulted in 2700 deaths in 2013 up from 2100 deaths in 1990. A low amount of thyroxine (one of the two thyroid hormones) in the blood, due to lack of dietary iodine to make it, gives rise to high levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which stimulates the thyroid gland to increase many biochemical processes; the cellular growth and proliferation can result
Iodine monofluoride −45 °C in CClF: It can also be generated by the reaction of iodine with iodine trifluoride at −78 °C in CClF: The reaction of iodine with silver(I) fluoride at 0 °C also yields iodine monofluoride: Iodine monofluoride is used to produce pure nitrogen triiodide: Iodine monofluoride Iodine monofluoride is an interhalogen compound of iodine and fluorine with formula IF. It is a chocolate-brown solid that decomposes at 0 C, disproportionating to elemental iodine and iodine pentafluoride: However, its molecular properties can still be precisely determined by spectroscopy: the iodine-fluorine distance is 190.9 pm and the I−F bond dissociation energy
