Pulsed OODR technique is applied to investigate ion-pair states in "E" region of iodine. The total excitation energy ranges between 43180 and 43600cm-1 Two ion-pair states, E1(13≤V′(E1)≤17) and E2(15≤V′(E2)≤19) unknown previously are found. T(e1)=41909.13±1.786cm-1,T(e2)=41843±0.033cm-1 (relative to VX= 0, J″x = 0,X1∑oe+). Analysis of the results leads to the conclusion that their energy curves (I+ 3P2+I- 1S0) are lower in "E" region as compared with others (e.g.fOg+) and both are of g symmetry.
