Q: Why "monoxide" but not "diodine"?

Dan LWhen naming compounds, sometimes when there are two vowels in a row the second is elided: this happens for example with "mono-oxide", which becomes "monoxide" instead. Why is this not always applied, e.g. with "diiodine"? Why aren't the repeated i's removed to make it "diodine"?
