What is the name of the compound of platinum?

Answer 1

Adams' catalyst, also known as platinum dioxide, is usually represented as platinum(IV) oxide hydrate, PtO2-H2O. It is a catalyst for hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis in organic synthesis. Cisplatin, cisplatinum or cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (CDDP) is a platinum-based chemotherapy drug used to treat various types of cancers, including sarcomas, some carcinomas (e.g. small cell lung cancer and ovarian cancer), lymphomas and germ cell tumors. It was the first member of its class, which now also includes carboplatin and oxaliplatin. Zeise's salt is the chemical compound with the formula K[PtCl3(C2H4)].H2O. This air-stable, yellow, coordination complex contains an η2-ethylene ligand. The complex, which is primarily of historical interest, is commonly prepared from K2[PtCl4] and ethylene in the presence of a catalytic amount of SnCl2. The anion features square planar platinum(II). Magnus' green salt is the chemical compound with the formula [Pt(NH3)4][PtCl4]. This species has been of interest in materials chemistry and solid state physics because of its one-dimensional structure. It consists of a linear chain of Pt atoms separated by 3.25 Å. The Pt(II) centers are also coordinated to four molecules of ammonia and four chlorides, in an alternating manner. It is a semi-conductor. Potassium tetrachloroplatinate is the chemical compound with the formula K2PtCl4. This reddish pink-colored salt is an important reagent for the preparation of other coordination complexes of platinum. It consists of potassium cations and the square planar dianion PtCl42-. Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(0) is the chemical compound with the formula Pt(P(C6H5)3)4, often abbreviated Pt(PPh3)4. The bright yellow compound is widely used as a precursor to other platinum complexes.

Answer 2

Platinum itself is an element. It is a transition metal that can both be part of alloys with other transition metals (such as gold, silver, titanium, etc.) and as the metal in a salt, such as an oxide or sulfide.

Answer 3

Which compound of platinum? The generic name would probably be "platinum salts".
