Infrared, structural and magnetic studies of solid solutions of potassium hexachlorometallates(IV) K₂ [(Pt/M)Cl₆] (M = Re, Os, Ir)

Abstract

Three series of solid solutions, K₂[(Pt/M)Cl₆] (M = Re, Os, Ir), have been prepared and their infrared, structural and magnetic properties investigated. The variation in the crystal cubic cell dimension correlates with composition of the solid solutions. Correlations of the magnetic and vibrational data with the cell dimensions of the solids are not statistically significant.
