Useful:

• Uses: Chloroplatinic acid is used in preparing most platinum salts and complexes. It also is used as an electroplating bath for plating and coating of platinum. Other applications are in catalysis. Catalyst precursor for the reaction of silyl hydrides with olefins, hydrosilylation.Also used for the determination of potassium. In platinum plating, photography, platinum mirrors, platinum luster on glass and porcelain, platinized carbon for acetic acid manufacture; platinizing pumice stone or asbestos, as catalyst in manufacture of SO3; indelible ink; relief etching of zinc for artistic and commercial purposes; fixing microscopic Preparations, etc. Chloroplantinic acid (H2PtCl6) is one of the most commercially important compounds of platinum. Its many uses include etching on zinc, making indelible ink, plating, and coloring in fine porcelains and use in photography, in mirrors, and as a catalyst.
