Abstract

Single crystals of tetracalcium iridium hexaoxide, Ca₄IrO₆, tricalcium magnesium iridium hexaoxide, Ca₃MgIrO₆, and tricalcium zinc iridium hexaoxide, Ca₃ZnIrO₆, were prepared via high-temperature flux growth and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The three compounds are isostructural and adopt the K₄CdCl₆ structure type, comprised of chains of alternating face-shared [CaO₆], [MgO₆] or [ZnO₆] trigonal prisms and [IrO₆] octahedra, surrounded by columns of Ca²⁺ ions.

Formula: Ca₄IrO₆, Ca_3.34Mg_0.66IrO₆ and Ca_3.50Zn_0.50IrO₆
