Only iodine forms hepta-fluoride IF7, but chlorine and bromine give Penta-fluorides. The reason for this is :

(1) low electron affinity of iodine

(2) unusual pentagonal bipyramidal structure of IF7

(3) that the larger iodine atom can accommodate more number of smaller fluorine atom around it 

(4) the low chemical reactivity of IF7
