Platinum(IV) iodide is a inorganic compound with the formula PtI4.[1] it is a dark brown diamagnetic solid and is one of several binary iodides of platinum.

Preparation

[edit]

Platinum(IV) iodide can be prepared from the effect of iodine on platinum:[2]

Pt + 2I2 → PtI4

It can also be obtained from the decomposition of hydrogen hexaiodoplatinate(IV) at 80 °C:

H2[PtI6] → PtI4 + 2HI

Physical properties

[edit]

Platinum(IV) iodide forms dark brown crystals of several modifications:[3]

Platinum(IV) iodide decomposes in water. It is also soluble in ethanol, acetone, alkali, HI, KI, liquid NH3.[5]

Chemical properties

[edit]

It decomposes when heated:

PtI4 → Pt + 2I2

When dissolved in hydroiodic acid, platinum(IV) iodide forms hydrogen hexaiodoplatinate(IV):

PtI4 + 2HI → H2[PtI6]
