Chloroplatinic , solution

When an amine, or a solution of its hydrochloride, is added to an aqueous solution of chloroplatinic acid, a salt of the base with the cliloroplatinic acid, of general formula BjiHiPtCle (where B is one molecule of the base) is formed and usually crystallises out, for these chloroplatinates hai e normally a rather low solubility in cold water. The chloroplatinate can be filtered off, dried, and then analysed by direct ignition, when only the metallic platinum ultimately remains. Knowing the percentage of platinum in the chloroplatinate, the molecular weight of the latter, and hence of the constituent base, can readily be calculated. 

Many chloroplatinates separate from aqueous solution with water of crystallisation. If this is suspected, the chloroplatinate should be dried to constant weight in the oven before analysis, to ensure elimination of water of crystallisation. Aniline, p-toluidine and pyridine all give anhydrous chloroplatinates, and can be conveniently used in the above determination no attempt should be made to recryrtallise their chloroplatinates. 

Chloroplatinic acid, H2PtClg 6H2O—10% solution dissolve 1 g in 9 mL of water keep in a dropping bottle. 

Color. Many water samples have a yellow to brownish-yeUow color which is caused by natural substances, eg, leaves, bark, humus, and peat material. Turbidity in a sample can make the measurement of color uncertain and is usually removed by centrifiigation prior to analysis. The color is usually measured by comparison of the sample with known concentrations of colored solutions. A platinum—cobalt solution is used as the standard, and the unit of color is that produced by 1 mg/L platinum as chloroplatinate ion. The standard is prepared from potassium chloroplatinate (K PtCl ) and cobalt chloride (C0CI26H2O). The sample may also be compared to suitably caUbrated special glass color disks. 

Pla.tinum, Platinum plating has found appHcation in the production of platinised titanium, niobium, or tantalum anodes which are used as insoluble anodes in many other plating solutions (see Metalanodes). Plating solutions were often based on platinum "P" salt, which is diamminedinitroplatiniim (IT). A dinitroplatinite sulfate—sulfuric acid bath has been used to plate direcdy onto titanium (129). This bath contains 5 g/L of the platinum salt, pH adjusted to 2.0 with sulfuric acid. The bath is operated at 40°C at 10—100 A/m. Other baths based on chloroplatinic acid have been used in both acid and alkaline formulations the acid bath uses 20 g/L of the platinum salt and 300 g/L hydrochloric acid at 65° C and 10—200 A/m. The alkaline bath uses 10 g/L of the platinum salt, 60 g/L of ammonium phosphate and ammonium hydroxide to give a pH of 2.5—9.0. The alkaline bath can be plated directly onto nickel-base alloys acid baths require a gold strike on most metals. 

When a carrier is impregnated with a solution, where the catalyst deposits will depend on the rate of diffusion and the rate of adsorption on the carrier. Many studies have been made of Pt deposition from chloroplatinic acid (HgPtClg) with a variety of acids and salts as coim-pregnants. HCl results in uniform deposition of Pt. Citric or oxalic acid drive the Pt to the interior. HF coimpregnant produces an egg white profile. Photographs show such varied distributions in a single pellet. 

Dissolve about i gram of an organic base (brucine, strychnine, quinine, c.) in 10 c.c. of a mixture of equal volumes of concentrated hydrochloric acid and water. To the clear hot solution add excess of platinic chloride and let it cool. Yellow microscopic crystals of the chloroplatinate of the base separate. (If the chloroplatinate of the base is very soluble in water, such as aniline, it must be washed with strong hydrochloiic acid, pressed on a porous plate and dried in a vacuum-desiccator over solid caustic potash.)... 

The hydrogen electrode consists of an electrode of platinum foil (approximately 1 X 1 X 0-002 cm) welded to a platinum wire which is fused into a glass tube. In order to increase its catalytic activity it is platinised by making it cathodic in a solution of chloroplatinic acid (2% chloroplatinic acid in 2 N HCl) frequently lead acetate is added to the solution (0-02%) and this appears to facilitate the deposition of an even and very finely divided layer... 

A platinum on silica gel catalyst was prepared by impregnation of silica gel (BDH, for chromatographic adsorption) by a solution containing 0.5% (wt.) of sodium hydroxide and 0.5% (wt.) of chloroplatinic acid (both of analytical grade). The dried catalyst contained 1% (wt.) of platinum and a corresponding amount of the alkaline component. The BET surface area of the catalyst was 40 m2/g, the mean pore radius 150 A. The catalyst was always reduced directly in the reactor in a stream of hydrogen at 200°C for 2 hr. 

A platinum-iron on silica gel catalyst was prepared by impregnating silica gel (BDH, for chromatographic adsorption) with an aqueous solution of chloroplatinic acid (analytical grade) and sodium hydroxide (analytical grade). The dry product was then impregnated by a ferrous sulfate solution (C.P. grade) and the water was removed in a rotating evaporator. The prepared catalyst contained 1% Pt, 0.7% Fe, and 2% NaOH (by... 

Although the actual reaction mechanism of hydrosilation is not very clear, it is very well established that the important variables include the catalyst type and concentration, structure of the olefinic compound, reaction temperature and the solvent. used 1,4, J). Chloroplatinic acid (H2PtCl6 6 H20) is the most frequently used catalyst, usually in the form of a solution in isopropyl alcohol mixed with a polar solvent, such as diglyme or tetrahydrofuran S2). Other catalysts include rhodium, palladium, ruthenium, nickel and cobalt complexes as well as various organic peroxides, UV and y radiation. The efficiency of the catalyst used usually depends on many factors, including ligands on the platinum, the type and nature of the silane (or siloxane) and the olefinic compound used. For example in the chloroplatinic acid catalyzed hydrosilation of olefinic compounds, the reactivity is often observed to be proportional to the electron density on the alkene. Steric hindrance usually decreases the rate of... 

Bimetallic clusters of platinum and iridium can be prepared by coimpregnating a carrier such as silica or alumina with an aqueous solution of chloroplatinic and chloroiridic acids (22,34). After the Impregnated carrier is dried and possibly calcined at mild conditions (250°-270 C), subsequent treatment in flowing hydrogen at elevated temperatures (300 -500°C) leads to formation of the bimetallic clusters. 

A 0.5 wt% Pt/Ti02 catalyst was prepared by the photodeposition method. A 100 mg Ti02 (Aeroxide P25S Degussa, 50 m /g, approximately 70% anatase and 30% mtile) were suspended in 30 mL aqueous solution with 1.4 mg chloroplatinic acid... 

Three carbon powders from three different commercial manufacturers were used to make six catalysts. For each carbon, two types of catalysts, namely HEC and HDC, were prepared using slurry-phase preparation methods. For the HDC catalysts a chloroplatinic acid solution containing the requisite amount of Pt (to generate a nominal 1.5 wt% Pt/CP) was added to an alkaline CP slurry. This was... 

A very strong solution of chloroplatinic acid (about 50% in isopropanol) was stirred with an olefin to make a mixture containing the extremely high concentration of about 0.01 g-atom of Pt/mole of olefin. This is more than 100 times the amount one would use for hydrosilation. At room... 

HMe2Si(CH2 ) CH=CH2 between 0 and 6 on the products made with chloroplatinic acid in dilute solution in hexane at reflux for 48 hours. With n = 0 or 1, no cyclic products could be detected but polymers formed of the formula [—Me2Si(CH2)2+B—]x. The effect of n was dramatic on the rate of reaction and the yield of products, as summarized in Table II. 

Andrianov et al. (52) studied the rate of disappearance of Si—H as a function of time, temperature, and concentration of chloroplatinic acid in an equimolar solution of isoprene and dodecamethylhexasiloxane, H(Me2SiO)5SiMe2H. With a constant concentration of catalyst a plot of % conversion of SiH up to at least 60% vs. time at 20°, 50°, 70° and 110°C gave a family of straight lines. The slopes of the lines increased by a factor of 2.5-3 between 50° and 110°C. 

A macroreticular styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer substituted with cyanomethyl groups sorbs chloroplatinic acid from its aqueous solution. The complex containing 1.45% platinum was used to study the kinetics of addition of trichlorosilane to acetylene in the vapor phase at 100°C (59). 

Toshima et al. obtained colloidal dispersions of platinum by hydrogen- and photo-reduction of chloroplatinic acid in an aqueous solution in the presence of various types of surfactants such as dodecyltrimethylammonium (DTAC) and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) [60]. The nanoparticles produced by hydrogen reduction are bigger and more widely distributed in size than those resulting from the photo-irradiation method. Hydrogenation of vinylacetate was chosen as a catalytic reaction to test the activity of these surfactant-stabilized colloids. The reaction was performed in water under atmospheric pressure of hydrogen at 30 °C. The photo-reduced colloidal platinum catalysts proved to be best in terms of activity, a fact explained by their higher surface area as a consequence of their smaller size. 

When NH4C1 is added to a solution of platinum tetrachloride, sparingly soluble ammonium chloroplatinate is obtained, which on ignition gives spongy platinum. 

When a solution of chloroplatinic acid, PtCl4. 2HC1. 6H20 is reduced by alkaline formaldehyde, platinum black is obtained.
