Iridium-192 (symbol 192 Ir) is a radioactive isotope of iridium, with a half-life of 73.827 days. [1] It decays by emitting beta (β) particles and gamma (γ) radiation. About 96% of 192 Ir decays occur via emission of β and γ radiation, leading to 192 Pt. Some of the β particles are captured by other 192 Ir nuclei, which are then converted ...
Iridium-192 (symbol 192 Ir) is a radioactive isotope of iridium, with a half-life of 73.83 days. [11] It decays by emitting beta (β) particles and gamma (γ) radiation. About 96% of 192 Ir decays occur via emission of β and γ radiation, leading to 192 Pt .
192 Ir, which falls between the two stable isotopes, is the most stable radioisotope, with a half-life of 73.827 days, and finds application in brachytherapy [28] and in industrial radiography, particularly for nondestructive testing of welds in steel in the oil and gas industries; iridium-192 sources have been involved in a number of ...
Cobalt-60 tends to be used in teletherapy units as a higher photon energy alternative to caesium-137, while iridium-192 tends to be used in a different mode of therapy, internal radiotherapy or brachytherapy. The iridium wires for brachytherapy are a palladium-coated iridium/palladium alloy wire made radioactive by neutron activation.
200 millicuries (7.4 GBq) total, not to exceed 10 mCi (0.37 GBq) per injection In hydraulic fracturing, plastic pellets coated with Silver-110m or sand labelled with Iridium-192with may be added to a proppant when it is required to evaluate whether a fracturing process has penetrated rocks in the pay zone.

Chlorobis(cyclooctene)iridium dimer is an organoiridium compound with the formula Ir 2 Cl 2 (C 8 H 14) 4, where C 8 H 14 is cis-cyclooctene. Sometimes abbreviated Ir 2 Cl 2 (coe) 4 , it is a yellow, air-sensitive solid that is used as a precursor to many other organoiridium compounds and catalysts.
Each Ir center is octahedral, being bonded to 3 other iridium atoms and three terminal CO ligands. Ir 4 (CO) 12 has T d symmetry with an average Ir-Ir distances of 2.693 Å. [ 4 ] The related clusters Rh 4 (CO) 12 and Co 4 (CO) 12 have C 3v symmetry because of the presence of three bridging CO ligands in each.
Natural alloys also occur in the systems Ir-Os-Rh, Os-Ir-Pt, Ru-Ir-Pt, Ir-Ru-Rh and Pd-Ir-Pt. Names used in these systems have included platiniridium (or platinian iridium) and iridrhodruthenium. However, there is no universally accepted method of plotting these compositions and their names, especially in the ternary systems.
