Uses

Different sources of media describe the Uses of 10025-65-7 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Platinum chloride is a useful inorganic reagent which has been used in the preparation and characterization of Ru-Pt core-shell nanoparticles.
2. Platinum (II) chloride is a catalyst used for a variety of C-C bond, C-O bond, and C-N bond formation.

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by ingestion. A skin irritant. Human mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-. See also PLATINUM COMPOUNDS.

Purification Methods

It is purified by heating at 450o in a stream of Cl2 for 2hours. Some sublimation occurs because the PtCl2 sublimes completely at 560o as red (almost black) needles. This sublimate can be combined to the bulk chloride, and while still at ca 450o it should be transferred to a container and cooled in a desiccator. A probable impurity is PtCl4. To test for this add a few drops of H2O (in which PtCl4 is soluble) to the salt, filter and add an equal volume of saturated aqueous NH4Cl to the filtrate. If no precipitate is formed within 1minute, then the product is pure. If a precipitate appears, then the whole material should be washed with small volumes of H2O until the soluble PtCl4 is removed. The purified PtCl2 is partly dried by suction and then dried in a vacuum desiccator over P2O5. It is insoluble in H2O but soluble in HCl to form chloroplatinic acid (H2PtCl4) by disproportionation.

Synthesis and Properties of a Methyl Derivative of Zeise's Dimer

A methyl(ethylene)platinum(II) complex has been prepared and characterized; it forms complexes where L = pyridine, Me2S, or C2H4, undergoes exchange with unsaturated reagents (un) where (un) = PhCH=CHPh, CH(CO2Me)=CH(CO2Me), or PhCCPh to give , undergoes insertion with CF3CCCF3 to give, after treatment with pyridine, (py)2>, and reacts with Zeise's dimer to give the unsymmetrical dimer .

Reaction of PtCl4 with 18-crown-6 in aprotic solvents (Nitromethane, acetonitrile, and 1,2-dichloroethane)

Specific features of the reaction of anhydrous PtCl4 with 18-crown-6 in anhydrous solvents with different donor and solvating abilities, such as nitromethane, acetonitrile, and 1,2-dichloroethane, under an inert atmosphere are studied. Ionic pl

Thermodynamic properties of α-platinum dichloride

The heat capacity of crystalline α-platinum dichloride was measured for the first time in the temperature intervals from 11 to 300 K (vacuum adiabatic microcalorimeter) and from 300 to 620 K (differential scanning calorimetry). In the 300-620 K temperatur

Physicochemical investigation of platinum dichloride polymorphism

The physicochemical characteristics of phase transitions of PtCl2 were investigated for the first time. The irreversible character of the transition from β-modification to α-form of PtCl2 and the temperature range of process were est

Thermodynamics of the Pt-Cl system

Using a static method three individual compounds in system of Pt-Cl: PtCl4, PtCl3, and PtCl2 are shown to exist. PtCl was shown not to exist. The enthalpies of formation of platinum chlorides were measured by calorimetry by reduction of the compounds with gaseous hydrogen. The recommended values for the enthalpies of formation at 298.15 K are -137.7 ± 0.3, 194.2 ± 1.0, and 245.6 ± 1.9 kJ/mol for PtCl2(s), PtCl3(s) and PtCl4(s), respectively.
