CHLOROPLATINIC ACID HEXAHYDRATE Structural

What is CHLOROPLATINIC ACID HEXAHYDRATE?

Chemical properties

orange to orange-brown powder or chunks

The Uses of CHLOROPLATINIC ACID HEXAHYDRATE

Chloroplatinic acid hexahydrate may be used as a platinum precursor in the preparation of ceria supported Pt catalyst, TiO₂/Pt nano-composites, Pt nanoparticles impregnated porous carbon films and cadmium sulfide-Pt colloidal system.

The Uses of CHLOROPLATINIC ACID HEXAHYDRATE

Dihydrogen hexachloroplatinate(IV) hexahydrate is used for the determination of potassium. It is also used for the purification of platinum by treating it with ammonium chloride flowed by heating of ammonium hexachloroplatinate with hydrogen yields elemental platinum. It also finds application in catalysis, electroplating, photography, platinum mirrors, printing for etching of zinc, producing fine color in glass and porcelain, indelible ink and microscopy. It is a precursor for the preparation of other platinum catalysts.

What are the applications of Application

Chloroplatinic acid hexahydrate is an analytical reagent for ultra trace analysis, also used for the production of precious metal catalysts and precious metal coatings.

General Description

Chloroplatinic acid hexahydrate (H₂PtCl₆.6H₂O) is an inorganic platinum salt. Pure quadrupole resonance frequencies of Cl³⁵ in H₂PtCl₆.6H₂O have been evaluated by spectrophotometric investigations.

Safety Profile

Poison by intraperitoneal route. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Pt and Cl-.
