The electronic state and structural configuration of the intercalated iodine species in stage-1. I Bi[sub 2]Sr[sub 2]Ca[sub n[minus]1]Cu[sub n]O[sub x] (n = 1, 2), have been studied through polarization-resolved Raman and Moessbauer spectroscopy. The polarization dependence of the Raman spectra and the Moessbauer measurement confirmed the dominant species to be triiodide ions, I[sup [minus][sub 3]], with alignment of these linear molecules either along the a- or b-axis in the host crystals. Transport measurements such as thermoelectric power and Hall coefficient clearly indicated that hole carriers are doped into the CuO[sub 2] planes upon intercalation, by which Tc of the host superconductor is changed. Furthermore, based on resistivity measurements in a magnetic field, we suggest that the iodine intercalation leads to a decrease of the anisotropy both in normal and superconducting states, suppressing the extremely two-dimensional character of the Bi[sub 2]Sr[sub 2]Ca[sub n[minus]1]Cu[sub n]O[sub x] systems. 22 refs., 5 figs.
