Potassium hexabromoplatinate(IV) (Cat No.: M076338) is an inorganic coordination compound with the formula K₂[PtBr₆], consisting of a platinum(IV) center surrounded octahedrally by six bromide ligands and balanced by two potassium cations. This red to dark orange crystalline solid is typically used in analytical chemistry for detecting potassium ions and as a precursor in platinum-based synthesis. Its stability and defined geometry make it valuable in studying coordination chemistry, especially ligand substitution reactions and redox behavior involving platinum group metal complexes.
