Platinum tetrachloride (Cat No.: M053488) is a reddish-brown crystalline inorganic compound composed of platinum in the +4 oxidation state and four chloride ligands. It is highly hygroscopic and soluble in water, forming acidic solutions. Widely used as a precursor in the synthesis of other platinum compounds, it also serves as a catalyst in organic reactions and industrial processes, such as chlorination and polymer modification. PtCl₄ is valuable in coordination chemistry, nanomaterial synthesis, and as an analytical reagent in detecting specific organic substances.
