M. D. Smith and H.-C. zur Loye

Abstract: Single crystals of the mixed alkaline earth platinate, tristrontium magnesium platinum hexaoxide, Sr3MgPtO6, were grown from a KOH flux at 1273  K. The compound adopts the rhombohedral K4CdCl6 structure type, featuring chains of face-shared, distorted MgO6 trigonal prisms (Mg site symmetry 32) and PtO6 octahedra (Pt site symmetry \overline 3) surrounded by columns of Sr2+ ions (Sr site symmetry 2).
