General description

Platinum(II) chloride is a dark brown crystalline solid that exhibits high thermal stability and is widely used in catalysis and nanomaterial synthesis.

Application

Platinum(II) chloride can be used:
  • As a precursor to synthesize Pt nanoparticles.
  • To fabricate Ag-nanostructured grid transparent conductive electrodes.
  • As a catalyst for intramolecular C−N bond addition of amides to alkynes.
  • As a catalyst for cycloisomerization reactions of hydroxylated enynes.
