HIGH-PRESSURE SYNTHESIS OF K2PTH6, A SALTLIKE HYDRIDE WITH THE K2PTCL6 STRUCTURE

At H2 pressures of up to 2 kbar, new ternary transition metal hydride complexes can be synthesized in which the transition metal has the same high oxidation state as in the corresponding ternary halides. In K2PtH6, which was prepared by this method, the complex [PtH6]2− building unit 1 was observed. (Figure Presented.) Copyright © 1994 by VCH Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, Germany
