POTASSIUM CHLOROPLATINATE
Potassium chloroplatinate is produced by a complicated treatment of the reducing of platinum chloride with sulfurous gas and adding potassium chloride. It was used primarily in the platinum printing process, but also for toning silver prints.
Field Note
Note
Preparation. Potassium tetrachloroplatinate is prepared by reduction of the corresponding hexachloroplatinate salt with sulfur dioxide. K2PtCl4 is one of the salts that is most easily obtained from platinum ores. The complex is appreciably soluble only in water.
Application
Potassium hexachloroplatinate is the inorganic compound with the formula K2PtCl6. ... The precipitation of this compound from solutions of hexachloroplatinic acid was formerly used for the determination of potassium by gravimetric analysis.
Dose
Potassium hexachloroplatinate is the inorganic compound with the formula K2PtCl6. It is a yellow solid that is an example of a comparatively insoluble potassium salt. The salt features the hexachloroplatinate(IV) dianion, which has octahedral coordination geometry.
