Isoelectronic compounds
[edit]How about KOsH9? Or maybe even "iridane" (IrH9)? The latter would especially be intriguing since it would be the transition metal analogue of methane, silane etc, and might be a gas or volatile liquid. It would be zerovalent like methane (since Ir and H have the same electronegativity). Has anyone tried preparing it, or its homologues rhodane and (Kurt) cobane? 173.165.239.237 (talk) 04:21, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
Geometry: text description vs. drawing
[edit]The text describes the geometry as tricapped trigonal prismatic, but the figure now in the article is a monocapped square antiprism. The tricapped trigonal prism geometry is sourced to the book by Holleman and Wiberg, and I have just added as a second source the book by Housecroft and Sharpe which agrees. So I am going to remove the figure with the incorrect geometry, and replace it with a figure of the tricapped trigonal prism which I found at Metal ions in aqueous solution#Lanthanides and actinides. (No, rhenium is not a lanthanide or actinide, but this figure does show the correct geometry). Dirac66 (talk) 00:23, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
