General description

Chloroplatinic acid hexahydrate (H2PtCl6.6H2O) is an inorganic platinum salt. Pure quadrupole resonance frequencies of Cl35 in H2PtCl6.6H2O have been evaluated by spectrophotometric investigations.[1]

Application

Chloroplatinic acid hexahydrate has been used in the following studies:
  • Preparation of Pd nanocubes (150nm width) and Pt nanospheres (150nm diameter).[2]
  • To compose the plating solution for the electrodeposition of Pt nanoparticles on the multilayered graphene petal nanosheets (MGPNs).[3]
  • Synthesis of nano-composites of Pt and nano-carbon (NC).3
Chloroplatinic acid hexahydrate may be used as a platinum precursor in the preparation of ceria supported Pt catalyst[4], TiO2/Pt nano-composites[5], Pt nanoparticles impregnated porous carbon films[6] and cadmium sulfide-Pt colloidal system.[7]

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
