This seems like a misprint. IF6 will have one electron too many to attain an octahedral structure with 90 degree bond angles. SF6 is octahedral, for example, and does have 90 degree angles, as does PF6(-1). Perhaps IF6(+1) is the molecule in question, which will have the proper number of electrons.
