It is still a challenge to develop green, simple and effective approaches to prepare aromatic iodides. Herein, a novel and green strategy for the direct mono‐iodination of aromatic compounds starting with molecular iodine has been developed. The strategy uses ceria nanocrystals to decompose hydrogen peroxide, giving hydroxyl radicals which are demonstrated experimentally and computationally to be crucial to promote the iodinations.
