Abstract
The oxide species responsible for the enhanced volatility of platinum and rhodium in oxygen in the temperature range 1000 to 1600 $^\circ$C have been elucidated, and the thermodynamics of their formation have been calculated from their vapour pressures, which were measured by means of the `transportation' or `carrier gas' technique. Similar, but incomplete, studies have been made on the metals ruthenium, iridium and palladium, and thermodynamic data have been calculated for the proposed oxide species.Keywords
