Abstract

Crystalline iridium(III) perchlorate hydrate has been prepared and used to determine the co-ordination number of aquairidium(III). Its X-ray powder patterns were recorded and turned out to be almost identical with that of Rh(OH2)6(ClO4)3. With an 18O-tracer technique the co-ordination number of aquairidium(III) was found to be 6.0 ± 0.2. Thereby the octahedral geometry of Ir(OH2)63+, previously inferred from the u.v.-visible spectrum, is strongly supported.
