Ammonium hexafluoroplatinate is an inorganic chemical compound with the chemical formula (NH4)2PtF6.[1]

Synthesis

A reaction of lanthanum(III) hexafluoroplatinate and ammonium hydroxide:[2]

La2[PtF6]3 + 6NH4OH → 3(NH4)2PtF6 + 2La(OH)3

Physical properties

Ammonium hexafluoroplatinate forms pale yellow crystals of cubic system, space group Fm3m.[3][4]

Chemical properties

Ammonium hexafluoroplatinate hydrolyses, foming the insoluble platinum(IV) hydroxide:

(NH4)2PtF6 + 4H2O → Pt(OH)4 + 4HF + 2NH4F
