Sodium hexachloroplatinate(IV) hexahydrate (Cat No.: M001966) is a yellow-orange crystalline compound used as a precursor in platinum-based catalysis, electroplating, and analytical chemistry. It contains a platinum(IV) center coordinated by six chloride ligands, forming a stable octahedral complex. In aqueous solution, it dissociates to provide platinum species for further chemical transformations. It is also employed in the preparation of other platinum complexes and materials. Handling requires caution due to its toxicity and potential as a heavy metal contaminant in environmental systems.
