Two different effective-core-potential methodologies, augmented with extra polarization functions are used at the MP2 level of theory to investigate the isomers of I-containing peroxides of the type XOOI, XIO2, IXO2, XOIO and IOXO (X = Cl, Br, I). The reliability of the results is checked against the all-electron calculations of Misra and Marshall [J. Phys. Chem. A, 102 (1998) 9056] for the IOOI family. Contrary to what has been well established for the chlorine and bromine analogs, the present study confirms the interesting observation that the I-containing peroxide isomers, XOOI, are not the most stable structures in each subfamily.
