Potassium trichloroammineplatinate(Cat No.: R042700), also known as potassium amminetrichloroplatinate(II), is an inorganic coordination complex with the formula K[Pt(NH₃)Cl₃]. It features a square planar platinum(II) center coordinated to one ammonia ligand and three chloride ligands, with potassium as the counterion. This compound is commonly used in inorganic and organometallic chemistry as a precursor for synthesizing other platinum complexes, including those with potential anticancer properties. Its well-defined structure makes it valuable for studying ligand substitution and coordination chemistry. For laboratory research use only.
