Description:
Ammonium hexachloroplatinate, also known as ammonium chloroplatinate, is a chemical compound with the formula [NH4]2[PtCl6]. It is a rare example of a soluble platinum(IV) salt that is not hygroscopic. It forms intensely yellow solutions in water. In the presence of 1M NH4Cl, its solubility is only 0.0028 g /100 mL.
Ammonium hexachloroplatinate is used in platinum plating.
Heating [NH4]2[PtCl6] under a stream of hydrogen at 200 °C produces platinum sponge. Treating this with chlorine gives H2PtCl6.Platinum salts are sensitizing agents and should only be handled by experts due to the very small exposure limit which may cause platinosis.
