Platinum(IV) chloride can be used as a precursor to synthesize Pt-based nanocatalysts for various organic transformations. For example, Carbon-supported Pt-Ru nanoparticles can be used as an efficient catalyst for methanol and ethanol oxidation.
Due to its high affinity to the glycosyl acceptor hydroxy groups and bidentate ligation capacity, it can be used as a dual catalyst for regio- and stereoselective glycosidation reactions.
It can also be used for the photosensitization and surface modification of TiO2 for the photodegradation of 4-chlorophenol.
Regarding the environmental pollution, platinum group elements (PGE) are in the centre of interest of current research. These rare elements are used as effective substances in automotive catalysts to reduce pollution by emissions originating from fuel combustion. Due to their

Phototoxicity of titanium dioxide modified with platinum(IV)-chloride complexes, [TiO2/PtCl4], irradiated with visible light was tested on murine macrophage cell line (RAW 264.7) in vitro. Presence of antioxidants such as alpha-tocopherol or beta-carotene during photodynamic treatment significantly increased cells viability. Our
An enhanced worldwide application of platinum group elements (PGE), in particular platinum, has been observed during recent decades. An increased concentration of PGE was determined in collected samples of great amount of aqueous ecosystems.The aim was to compare phytotoxic effect
