    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridium-192

    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 ...

    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 ...

    It is a replacement for the previous Windows 2000 and Windows XP display driver model XDDM/XPDM [3] and is aimed at enabling better performance graphics and new graphics functionality and stability. [2] Display drivers in Windows Vista and Windows 7 can choose to either adhere to WDDM or to XDDM. [4]

    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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organoiridium_chemistry

    Organoiridium compounds share many characteristics with those of rhodium, but less so with cobalt. Iridium can exist in oxidation states of -III to +V, but iridium(I) and iridium(III) are the more common. iridium(I) compounds (d 8 configuration) usually occur with square planar or trigonal bipyramidal geometries, whereas iridium(III) compounds (d 6 configuration) typically have an octahedral ...
