The nature of intra‐ and intermolecular interactions of polyiodides has been investigated by means of quantum chemical methods and structural statistical data. In the region of “secondary bonds” the interaction is adequately described in terms of covalent bonding accompanied by dispersion. At greater distances the interaction is dominated by ion‐quadrupole interactions between ionic and neutral iodine building blocks of the polyiodide structures.
