Background
Ammonium hexachloroplatinate are orange-red crystals or yellow powder used in platinum plating. It is a rare example of a soluble platinum(IV) salt that is not hygroscopic. It forms intensely yellow solutions in water. The compound consists of separate tetrahedral ammonium cations and octahedral [PtCl6]2- anions. It is usually generated as a fine yellow precipitate by treating a solution of hexachloroplatinic acid with a solution of an ammonium salt.
