General description
Platinum (IV)chloride is a weak Lewis acid used in surface modification, nanomaterialsynthesis, and catalysis.
Application
Platinum (IV) chloride can be used for the surfacemodification of crystalline and amorphous titania powders, to enhance theirphotocatalytic efficiency. Electronsinjected into the conduction band of titania due to visible light excitation ofplatinum (IV)chloride surface complex reduces oxygen to superoxide. The superoxide thusformed is responsible for the photodegradation reaction.
Platinumnanoparticles can be synthesized by reacting platinum (IV) chloride with Cyanobacteriumin an environmentally friendly method.
It can also be used as a dual catalyst forstereo- and regioselective glycosidations. Due to its ligand-bindingcapacity, platinum (IV) chloridehas an affinity for the glycosyl acceptor hydroxy group and forms the glycosidationproduct in β-configuration. It also enhances nucleophilicity differencesbetween hydroxy groups allowing regioselective glycosidation.
