Sr3ZnPtO6 and Sr3CdPtO6.
The flux synthesis of single crystals of the isostructural compounds tristrontium zinc platinum hexaoxide, Sr(3)ZnPtO(6), and tristrontium cadmium platinum hexaoxide, Sr(3)CdPtO(6), is reported. The compounds adopt the pseudo-one-dimensional rhombohedral K(4)CdCl(6) structure type, and feature chains of face-shared distorted ZnO(6) or CdO(6) trigonal prisms and PtO(6) octahedra, surrounded by columns of Sr(2+) ions. All transition metals are located on the threefold axis of symmetry, while the Sr(2+) cations lie on twofold axes.
