IX is now the highest known formal oxidation state, according to the paper. The authors have characterized [IrO4]^＋.Ar by IR photodissociation spectroscopy, and the spectrum is consistent with tetrahedral [IrO4]^＋ containing four terminal Ir=O bonds （Scheme 1）. Quantum-chemical calculations support the identification of [IrO4]^＋ in experiments. The work was conducted by the research groups of Mingfei Zhou at Fudan University, Gary J.
