Platinum tetrachloride

Description:
Platinum tetrachloride, with the chemical formula PtCl4 and CAS number 13454-96-1, is an inorganic compound characterized by its dark brown to black solid appearance. It is a coordination compound of platinum, where the platinum atom is surrounded by four chloride ions. This compound is known for its high stability and is typically synthesized through the reaction of platinum(II) chloride with chlorine gas. Platinum tetrachloride is soluble in polar solvents and can act as a Lewis acid, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including catalysis. It has applications in organic synthesis and materials science, particularly in the preparation of platinum-containing complexes. Due to its strong oxidizing properties, it must be handled with care, as it can react with reducing agents. Additionally, it is important to note that platinum tetrachloride can release toxic fumes upon decomposition, necessitating appropriate safety measures during handling and storage.
