Dear All :) , I refers to paper #1 Hence, points go to Alison. Thanks for your input!
rainerc (X) Jan 22, 2014:
@ Alison: it's possible.. but I suspect that they also grouped the metals into the respective groups.
Alison MacG Jan 22, 2014:
I & II (papers rather than platinum groups) The authors of the paper referred to by rainerc above also wrote a second paper:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/prac.19050710134/...
rainerc (X) Jan 22, 2014:
my suggestion would be: The platinum metals/elements Pt, Pd und Ir, if your source refers to this publication: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/prac.19050710123/...

@Asker Does the "I" really belong to what you are looking for?

platinum group I

where "I" refers not to some sort of sub-group of the platinum group, but to part 1 of a two-part report or article (see discussion)

Both articles are listed here:

Über colloïdale Metalle der Platinreihe I
Über colloïdale Metalle der Platinreihe II
http://finden.nationallizenzen.de/Record/ZDB-1-WIS@162865112

The full texts are both available here

http://archive.org/stream/journalfrprakti00unkngoog/journalf...

and there does not appear to be any reference to special sub-groups.

The first report states at the beginning:

Die vorliegende Abhandlung ist ein kurzer Auszug aus der Inauguraldissertation des Hrn. G. Hofmeier: Über anorganische Kryptoïde und Colloïde.

and at the end:

In einer weiteren Abhandlung die Colloïde von Rhodium, Ruthenium und Osmium zu beschreiben, behalten wir uns vor.

The second report states at the beginning:

In einer vorhergehenden Mitteilung haben wir über beständige, flüssige Hydrosole des Platins, des Palladiums und des Iridiums berichtet, welche wir dadurch erhielten, daß wir Salze der betreffenden Metalle bei Gegenwart von Gummi-arabicum-Lösung mittels Hydrazinhydrat reduzierten und die entstandenen colloïdalen Lösungen in bekannter Weise durch Dialyse reinigten.

Wir haben nun unsere Untersuchungen auch auf Rhodium, Ruthenium und Osmium ausgedehnt und wollen über die erhaltenen Resultate 1 ) hier wieder kurz berichten.

platinum group I


Encyclopaedia Britannica says:
"platinum group, six metals, in order of increasing atomic weight, ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh), palladium (Pd), osmium (Os), iridium (Ir), and platinum (Pt). The elements all possess a silvery white colour—except osmium, which is bluish white. The chemical behaviour of these metals is paradoxical in that they are highly resistant to attack by most chemical reagents yet, employed as catalysts, readily accelerate or control the rate of many oxidation, reduction, and hydrogenation reactions."

Platinum group metal colloids may also help.
Peer comment(s):

neutral rainerc (X) : But why "group I"? // Yes, the elements obviously have different atomic weights.
37 mins
I wondered about that myself - but I left it in as it was part of the question. Maybe something to do with atomic weights?
disagree Cilian O'Tuama : doesn't really make sense, as opposed to Pt group II?

Reference:

platinum-group metals/elements

Nowadays the PGEs are subdivided into iridium-group platinum-group elements (IPGEs: Os, Ir, Ru) and palladium-group platinum-group elements (PPGEs: Rh, Pt, Pd).
see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platinum_group

lirka's source text uses a completely different classification (Pt, Pd and Ir; and Rh, Ru and Os) for reasons I cannot follow.
Note from asker:
This text is from 1905! It's full of (to me) illogical things...
Peer comments on this reference comment:

neutral Yorkshireman : Could the "I" in the question be for Iridium?
20 mins
most definitely not!
agree Cilian O'Tuama : Agree that 1 is definitely not Iridium
