Findings

Calculated level energies and transition rates for $I^{8+}$ to $I^{12+}$.

Fills data gaps for $I^{10+}$ to $I^{12+}$ ions.

Uses Multi-Configuration Dirac-Hartree-Fock with Configuration Interaction methods.

Abstract

High-accuracy Multi-Configuration Dirac-Hartree-Fock with Configuration Interaction calculations of level energies and transition rates have been carried out for iodine $I^{8+}$ through $I^{12+}$ ions related to the [Kr]4d$^n$ ($n$ = 5-9) configurations. For $I^{10+}$ through $I^{12+}$ ions the present data fill up the lack of such data in the literature.
