Thallium Chloriridate, Tl₂IrCl₆

Thallium Chloriridate, Tl₂IrCl₆, may be prepared in a similar manner to the foregoing salt. It yields small opaque bluish green cubes. When boiled with concentrated hydrochloric acid it is converted into chloriridite, Tl₃IrCl₆, which crystallises out in lamellae which are bronze tinted. These are oxidised by nitric acid to the chloriridate again.
