Tetrachloroplatinate

The Stock Oxidation-Number System. Stock sought to correct many nomenclature difficulties by introducing Roman numerals in parentheses to indicate the state(s) of oxidation, eg, titanium(II) chloride for TiCl2, iron(II) oxide for FeO, titanium(III) chloride for TiCl, iron(III) oxide for Fe203, titanium(IV) chloride for TiCl, and iron(II,III) oxide for Fe O. In this system, only the termination -ate is used for anions, followed by Roman numerals in parentheses. Examples are potassium manganate(IV) for K2Mn02, potassium tetrachloroplatinate(II) for K PtCl, and sodium hexacyanoferrate(III) for Na3Fe(CN)3. Thus a set of prefixes and terminations becomes uimecessary. 

C20-0046. Write the formulas of the following compounds (a) potassium tetrachloroplatinate(II) (b)... 

In the complex [Co(NH3)6]Cl3, the cation is [Co(NH3)6]3+, and it is named first. The coordinated ammonia molecules are named as ammine, with the number of them being indicated by the prefix hexa. Therefore, the name for the compound is hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride. There are no spaces in the name of the cation. [Co(NH3)5C1]C12 has five NH3 molecules and one CN coordinated to Co3+. Following the rules just listed leads to the name pentaamminechlorocobalt(III) chloride. Potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) is K3[Fe(CN)6j. Reinecke s salt, NH4[Cr(NCS)4(NH3)2], would be named as ammonium diamminetetrathiocyanatochro mate (III). In Magnus s green salt, [Pt(NH3)4][PtCl4], both cation and anion are complexes. The name of the complex is tetraammineplatinum(II) tetrachloroplatinate(II). The compound [Co(en)3](N03)3 is named as tris(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) nitrate.

Cisplatin Cisplatin, cw-diaminodichloroplatinum (30.2.5.1), is made by reducing potassium hexachloroplatinate by hydrazine to potassium tetrachloroplatinate, which reacts with ammonia to give cisplatin (30.2.5.1) [73-77]. 

Hexachloroplatinic acid may be reduced to tetrachloroplatinic(II) acid, H2PtCl4, by sulfur dioxide and other reducing agents. 

The compound does not have any notable commercial applications. It is used to prepare tetrachloroplatinic(ll) acid (choroplatinous acid) and tetra-chloroplatinate salts.

Tetrachloroplatinic(ll) acid formed above may decompose to a small extent forming metallic platinum and hexachloroplatinicfll) acid. 

Heretofore, the most common method for the preparation of the useful platinum(II) complexes of the type [PtCl2L3], where L is a tertiary phosphine, consisted of the reaction between potassium tetrachloroplatinate(II) and tertiary phosphines.1 When trialkylphosphines are used, the reaction usually leads to a mixture of cis- and trans isomers,2 3 and when triaiylphosphines are employed4 only the cis isomers are obtained. The preparation of pure trans complexes by a simple, convenient procedure is highly desirable. 

Caution. Potassium tetrachloroplatinate(II) is a known sensitizing agent, and tetra(n-butyl)ammonium hydrogen sulfate is an irritant. All organic solvents used are toxic, and most of them flammable. Inhalation or contact with them should be avoided. Appropriate precautions must be taken, and an efficient hood must be used. 

Potassium tetrachloroplatinate(II) [10025-99-7] M 415.1. (20ml7g) between 100° and 0°. Washed wilh ice-cold water and dried.
