Abstract: | Preparation and Properties of the Alkali Hexaiodatogermanates(IV), M2Ge(IO3)6] Germanium dioxide aquate and alkali nitrates react with iodic acid to yield alkali hexaiodatogermanates(IV), M2Ge(IO3)6], (M = NH4, K, Rb, Cs). The unit-cell dimensions of the trigonal cell are for K2Ge(JO3)6] a0 = 11.16 Å, c0 = 11.34 Å, z = 3. The compounds M MIV(IO3)6] (MI = NH4, K, Rb, Cs, MIV = Ge, Sn, Pb, Ti, Zr, Mn) are isomorphous1). |
