We previously commented how, instead of showing different intra-and inter-molecular distances, the different I-I distances in polyiodides show a relatively smooth transition from covalency towards what has been dubbed secondary or halogen bonds. The "no man's land" in between covalent and supramolecular forces, generating a peak of confusion in the assignment of experimental data centered around 3.3-3.4 Å, can now be properly explained.
