Potential Exposure
It is used in photography, platinum
plating and in the manufacture of platinum sponge.
First aid
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek
medical attention immediately. Like treatment for other platinum
salts remove victim to fresh air and give oxygen. Nasal
washing to remove salts is recommended. In case of skin or
eye contact, irrigate with water immediately. If this chemical
contacts the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash
immediately with soap and water. Seek medical attention
immediately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from
exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions,
including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped
and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a
medical facility. When this chemical has been swallowed,
get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and
induce vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit.

Incompatibilities
This material is unstable and potentially
explosive. Incompatible with strong oxidizers (chlorates,
nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates,
chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires
or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong
bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides.
Chemical Properties
Ammonium chloroplatinate is an orange-red
crystalline cubic solid or yellow powder which decomposes
when heated.
Chemical Properties
YELLOW CUBIC CRYSTALS
Waste Disposal
Because of the high value of
the metal, recovery is the economically indicated disposal
method.
Uses
Electroplating of platinum, manufacturing of platinum spongeAmmonium hexachloroplatinate(IV) is used in electroplating of platinum and to make spongy platinum. It reacts with copper(II) acetate and hydrogen sulfide to prepare Cu2PtIIPt3IVS8 which finds application in diamagnetic materials and semiconductors. It is also used in platinum plating. Further, it acts as an analytical reagent.
Uses
Platinum plating; manufacture of spongy platinum.
Definition
ChEBI: Ammonium hexachloroplatinate is an ammonium salt comprising separate ammonium cations and octahedral [PtCl6](2-) anions. It contains a hexachloroplatinate(2-).
