Description

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.
