Ammonium hexachloroplatinate, also known as ammonium chloroplatinate, is an inorganic compound with the formula (NH4)2PtCl6. It is a rare example of a soluble platinum(IV) salt that is not hygroscopic. It forms intensely yellow solutions in water. In the presence of 1M NH4Cl, its solubility is only 0.0028g/100 mL.
Preparation and structure
The compound consists of separate ammonium cations and octahedral [PtCl6] 2- anions. It is usually generated by treating a solution of chloroplatinic acid with a solution of an ammonium salt.[Kauffman, G. B. "Ammonium Hexachloroplatinate" Inorganic Syntheses McGraw-Hill: New York, 1967, IX, pages 182-4.] The fine yellow salt precipitates. The complex is so poorly soluble that this step is employed in the isolation of platinum from ores and recycled residues. [Cotton, S. A. Chemistry of Precious Metals, Chapman and Hall (London): 1997. ISBN 0-7514-0413-6.] ]Uses and reactions
This yellow powder is used in platinum plating.
Heating (NH4)2PtCl6 under a stream of hydrogen at 200 °C produces platinum sponge. Treatment with chlorine gives H2PtCl6.References
