Ammonium chloroplatinate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties YELLOW CUBIC CRYSTALS

Chemical Properties Ammonium chloroplatinate is an orange-red crystalline cubic solid or yellow powder which decomposes when heated.

Uses Platinum plating; manufacture of spongy platinum.

Safety Profile Poison by inhalation and ingestion. Human pulmonary system effects by inhalation. See also PLATINUM COMPOUNDS. An explosively unstable compound. Incompatible with KOH (boiling with alkali yields a product which, after drying, will explode @ 205' or if mixed with combustibles). When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of Cl-, NOx, and NH3.

Potential Exposure It is used in photography, platinum plating and in the manufacture of platinum sponge.

Shipping UN3288 Toxic solids, inorganic, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required.

Incompatibilities This material is unstable and potentially explosive. Incompatible with strong oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides.

Waste Disposal Because of the high value of the metal, recovery is the economically indicated disposal method.
