Usage

Description

Chloroplatinic acid hydrate, also known as dihydrogen hexachloroplatinate(IV) hexahydrate, is a readily available compound of platinum that can be prepared by dissolving platinum in aqua regia. It is characterized by its orange to brown lumps and undergoes a series of decomposition steps upon heating, including the loss of water, formation of platinum tetrachloride (PtCl4) at 220 °C, β-PtCl2 at 350 °C, and finally decomposing to platinum metal at 500 °C.
