Iodeto

Iodeto is not a standard term in contemporary chemical nomenclature. In English, the widely accepted terms for iodine-containing species are iodide (I−) and iodate (IO3−). The suffix -eto does not designate a specific iodine-containing anion in formal IUPAC naming, and "iodeto" is not used to name a defined compound in mainstream inorganic chemistry. When encountered, the word can appear as a loanword in non-English texts or in informal or historical contexts, where its meaning may vary. Consequently, the intended meaning of iodeto should be inferred from context.

In practice, iodeto may appear in two broad contexts: linguistic or archival references to iodide salts in non-English sources, and non-scientific uses such as branding or speculative fiction where it denotes a hypothetical or fictional iodine-containing material. If it is a brand name or fictional material, its described properties are determined by the source rather than by established chemical nomenclature.

Chemical relevance: iodine forms several classes of compounds, including iodides, iodates, iodo-organic compounds, and others. None of these standard classes are referred to as "iodeto" in formal nomenclature. When precision is required, it is best to identify the specific compound by its correct name or provide its systematic designation.
