Ammonium tetrachloroplatinate Specification

The IUPAC name of Platinum(II)-ammonium chloride is diazanium tetrachloroplatinum(2-). With the CAS registry number 13820-41-2 and EINECS 237-499-1, it is also named as Ammonium platinous chloride. It is light brown orange to red crystalline powder which is highly toxic. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NH3, Cl−, and Pt. So the storage environment should be well-ventilated, low-temperature and dry.

The other characteristics of this product can be summarized as: (1)#H bond acceptors: 2; (2)#H bond donors: 6; (3)#Freely Rotating Bonds: 0; (4)Rotatable Bond Count: 0; (5)Exact Mass: 372.905983; (6)MonoIsotopic Mass: 370.908933; (7)Topological Polar Surface Area: 2; (8)Heavy Atom Count: 7; (9)Formal Charge: 0; (10)Complexity: 19.1; (11)Isotope Atom Count: 0; (12)Covalently-Bonded Unit Count: 3.

Uses of Platinum(II)-ammonium chloride: It is used in spectral analysis standard. It is also used in the preparation of platinum sponge and platinum catalytic agent.
