General description

Platinum (IV)chloride is a highly oxidizing crystalline compound that can easily undergo reduction-oxidation reactions. It is widely used to synthesize Pt-based nanomaterials and catalysts.

Application

Platinum (IV) chloride can be used:
  • As a precursor to synthesize Pt nanoparticles for photocatalytic hydrogen generation.
  • As a starting material to prepare Pt/Al2O3 and Pt/ZrO2-SiO2 catalysts.
  • To fabricate an electrocatalyst for proton exchange fuel cells.
  • As a catalyst for the cyclization of arene−alkynesubstrates via intramolecular electrophilic hydroarylation.
