PtCN62

PtCN62, also known as Platinum(II) hexacyanoferrate(II), is a coordination compound with the chemical formula Pt[Fe(CN)6]. It is a dark blue, crystalline solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in dilute acids. The compound is notable for its unique structure, which consists of platinum(II) ions coordinated to hexacyanoferrate(II) anions. The platinum(II) ions are octahedrally coordinated by six cyanide ligands, while the iron(II) ions are also octahedrally coordinated by six cyanide ligands. This results in a three-dimensional network of Pt-CN-Fe bonds, which gives the compound its distinctive properties. PtCN62 is used in various applications, including as a catalyst in organic synthesis and as a component in electrochromic devices. Its stability and unique electronic properties make it a valuable material in the field of materials science. The compound was first synthesized in the early 20th century and has since been the subject of extensive research.
