Abstract

The flux synthesis of single crystals of the isostructural compounds tristrontium zinc platinum hexaoxide, Sr₃ZnPtO₆, and tristrontium cadmium platinum hexaoxide, Sr₃CdPtO₆, is reported. The compounds adopt the pseudo-one-dimensional rhombohedral K₄CdCl₆ structure type, and feature chains of face-shared distorted ZnO₆ or CdO₆ trigonal prisms and PtO₆ octahedra, surrounded by columns of Sr²⁺ ions. All transition metals are located on the threefold axis of symmetry, while the Sr²⁺ cations lie on twofold axes.

Formula: Sr₃ZnPtO₆ and Sr₃CdPtO₆
