Characteristic
Platinum(IV) chloride is the inorganic compound of platinum and chlorine with the empirical formula PtCl4. This brown solid features platinum in the 4+ oxidation state.
Chemical formula:PtCl4
Molar mass: 336.89 g/mol
Appearance: brown-red powder
Density: 4.303 g/cm3 (anhydrous) 2.43 g/cm3 (pentahydrate)
Melting point: 370 °C (698 °F; 643 K) decomposes
Boiling point: decomposes
Solubility in water:58.7 g/100 mL (anhydrous) very soluble (pentahydrate)
Solubility: anhydrous soluble in acetone slightly soluble in ethanol insoluble in ether
pentahydrate soluble in alcohol, ether
Magnetic susceptibility (χ):−93.0·10−6 cm3/mol
Application
The direct use is in the manufacture of platinum asbestos, which is used as a catalyst, and also in the production of cisplatin, a cancer drug that is particularly effective against ovarian and testicular cancers.
