All compounds are of the highest available purity. Metals are cleaned with dilute acid to remove any surface impurities and rinsed with distilled water. Unless otherwise indicated, compounds are dried to a constant weight at 110 ^oC. Most of these compounds are soluble in dilute acid (1:1 HCl or 1:1 HNO₃), with gentle heating if necessary; some of the compounds are water soluble.
