General description

Chloroplatinicacid (H2PtCl6) is a hygroscopic inorganic compound that is widely used as a catalyst for hydrosilylation, hydrogenation, carbonylation, oxidation and coupling reactions.

Chloroplatinic acid solution catalyses the hydrosilylation reaction of 1-Hexyne to form l,6-Bis(trichlorosilyl)hexane.

Application

Chloroplatinic acid solution used as:
  • Platinum precursor in the synthesis of platinum nanoparticles using hydrazine as a reducing agent.
  • An electrolyte in the preparation of various carbon-supported platinum nanomaterials with H2SO4 by electrodeposition method in the presence or absence of organic additives.
  • An anionic precursor in the preparation of Pt/SBA_BEA catalyst for the hydro isomerization of n-hexadecane.
  • A Pt precursor in the preparation of PVP-protected Pt-nanoparticles by seed-mediated growth method.
