Sodium Chloriridate, Na₂IrCl₆

Sodium Chloriridate, Na₂IrCl₆.6H₂O, is conveniently prepared in a similar manner to the potassium salt. It also results when solutions of iridium tetrachloride and sodium chloride are mixed and concentrated. The salt crystallises in triclinic prisms isomorphous with the corresponding platinum salt, Na₂PtCl₆.6H₂O.
