Both H2O2I and H2OI O2 are unknown compounds, chemically speaking even the first looks rather impossible to me.

However HO2I and HOI (with 1 i.s.o. 2 H atoms) are real compounds, when correctly written as HIO2 and HIO they are commonly known as Iodic and hypo-Iodic acid.

Doing so, the reaction 2 HIO2 --> 2 HIO + O2(g) is called an 'auto-redox decomposition' or an 'internal oxidation-reduction' reaction.
