Potassium Hexachloroplatinate(IV)（Cat No.:L012617）is a yellow-orange crystalline compound with the formula K₂[PtCl₆]. It contains platinum in a +4 oxidation state and is commonly used as a precursor in platinum-based catalyst synthesis and coordination chemistry studies. Soluble in water, it releases hexachloroplatinate ions, which can undergo further chemical transformations. Its strong oxidizing properties make it useful in analytical chemistry, especially in detecting potassium or ammonium ions. Due to its platinum content, it is also applied in metallurgical processes and material science. Handle with care as it is toxic and environmentally hazardous.
