Preparation
Strontium Periodate can be formed by the reaction
of periodic acid on strontium hydroxide:
Sr(OH)2＋2HIO4→Sr(IO4)2
A mono-hydrate of the metaperiodate, Sr(IO4)2·H2O,
is generally obtained. By crystallization from a strong
acidic aqueous solution strontium-tetrahydrogenhexaoxoperiodate-
trihydrate Sr(H4IO6)2·3H2O has
been obtained.
