Platinum(IV) Chloride
Platinum(IV) Chloride (CAS: 13454-96-1) is a red-brown to dark brown crystalline platinum salt that is soluble in water and in some polar organic solvents, forming acidic solutions. As a platinum(IV) compound it is easy to reduce to platinum metal or to platinum(II) species, so it serves as a flexible precursor for catalysts, platinum complexes and platinum plating baths. Typical uses include the preparation of hydrogenation and oxidation catalysts, fuel-cell electrode materials, and platinum-containing coordination compounds for research. Supplied at 98% purity, it is hygroscopic and should be stored dry and sealed away from strong reducing agents.
• Catalysts: a platinum precursor for hydrogenation, oxidation and fuel-cell electrocatalysts.
• Electrodes and coatings: used to prepare platinum plating solutions and conductive electrode layers.
• Platinum complexes: a starting material for cisplatin-type analogues and other platinum coordination chemistry.
• Materials and research: applied in the synthesis of platinum-containing oxides, alloys and functional films.
