platinaIVsuolat
PlatinaIVsuolat refers to chemical compounds containing platinum in its +4 oxidation state. These compounds are generally more stable and less reactive than their platinum(II) counterparts. PlatinaIVsuolat can exhibit a variety of coordination geometries, with octahedral being the most common. Many platinaIVsuolat are intensely colored, often yellow, orange, or red, due to electronic transitions within the platinum complex.
Common examples of platinaIVsuolat include hexachloroplatinate(IV) salts, such as potassium hexachloroplatinate(IV) (K2[PtCl6]), which is a yellow
