You need to put on the element column I-1 instead of I. For example

-----
ATOM 2838 O HOH W 102 6.018 39.720 31.127 1.00 21.43 O ATOM 2839 I IOD B 1 19.956 22.770 18.597 1.00 30.00 I -1

Dear refmac experts, following on from the iodide ion question,
If I ask coot to get IOD, it lines up the I with C of CA in pdb file.
Good. But to tell refmac that it is an iodide ion (not a metal) and get
the correct scattering factor, presumably the atom type should be
changed to I- ?? or have I misunderstood horribly ?

Residue name of iodine should IOD. Otherwsie there is a clash
of names with some other residue names (ionisine)

                        Dear All,

                        I am having trouble with refmac
dictionaries when refining a structure that contains an iodine ion.
                        the PDB entry should be correct and
according to the convention (water added for comparison):

                        I figured that it tries to read the
wrong dictionary (although the correct one ( I.cif) is
present in the same directory). Explicitly supplying I.cif
with a LIB_IN card does not help

                        thanks for your help
