Uses
Platinum (IV) oxide (Pt
4+ + 2O
2- → Pt O2) is also known as platinum dioxide. It is a darkbrown
to black powder known as Adams catalyst that is used as a hydrogenation catalyst.
Uses
Platinum(IV) oxide hydrate is used in the conversion of ketones to methylenes by hydrogenolysis of enol triflates under neutral conditions. It is used as a catalyst for hydrosilylation of olefins with various alkyl dialkoxy silanes.
