The effects of stage-one iodine intercalation and oxidation on the dimensionality of the physical properties and on the superconducting transition temperature {ital T}{sub {ital c}} have been investigated in Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub 8+{delta}} single crystals. Both intercalation and oxidation change the dimensionality of the normal-state properties from pseudo-two-dimensional to three-dimensional, decrease {ital T}{sub {ital c}} and also change the magnetic-field dependence of the activation energy in the flux creep. The broadening of the resistive superconducting-transition under magnetic fields is suppressed through only the oxidation. These changes through the intercalation and oxidation have been found to be explained by the multilayer model, where a high-{ital T}{sub {ital c}} superconductor is regarded as an alternating stack of the CuO{sub 2} layer ({ital S} layer) and the block layer ({ital N} layer), taking account of the proximity effect and of the redistribution of carriers to the {ital S} and {ital N} layers. We have arrived at the conclusion that the multilayer model can be one of the candidates for the model of high-{ital T}{sub {ital c}} superconductors.
