I am actually wondering what is the range of oxidation potential of alkyl halides, especially species bearing an Iodine atom. I didn't find information in my book (organic electrochemistry by Ole Hammerich & Bernd Speiser). Thank you !
Dear all, the following documents give estimation of oxidation-reduction potentials. My Regards

Dear Corentin Lefebvre, although this doesn't really answer your question, a famous reaction immediately came to my mind in which an alkyl iodide acts as an oxidation agent. It is the formation of samarium diiodide form 1,2-diiodoethane and samarium metal according to the following equation:
Sm + ICH2CH2I = SmI2 + CH2=CH2

I recommend to get acquainted with other functions that form a halogen bond in substances
