    Abstract

    Crystals of a new family of lanthanide-containing platinum oxides with a unique framework structure were grown out of molten hydroxide fluxes. The structure consists of a crystallographically well-behaved [Ln 6Pt 2O 15] 4- framework permeated by channels filled with disordered atoms along the [100] and equivalent directions. Open-channel structures are rare in oxides and apparently unknown in platinate chemistry.
