Periodic acid (H5IO6) is relatively strong oxidizing agent with a low melting point. As such, it can be difficult to maintain as periodate at elevated temperatures yet provides a fantastic route to new crystalline materials as a flux medium. These types of in-situ reduction reactions have the ability yield iodate-based compounds with potentially new and interesting structure types; many metal iodate compounds have been extensively explored for their unique properties, primarily second harmonic generation. Herein, we discuss the syntheses and single-crystal structural characterizations of new metal iodates formed via periodic acid flux reactions .
