Question

Starting from K2PtCI6, how would you prepare Zeise's salt?​

Answer 1

Answer:

ZEISE'S SALT ,

potassium tricholoro(ethylene)platinate(ll), the chemical compound with formula K[PtCl3(C2H4)].H2O

This compound is commercially available as a hydrate is commonly prepared from K2[PtCl4] and ethylene in the presence of catalytic amount of SnCl2 . The water of hydration can be removed in vacuo.

Structure:

The alkene C=C is approximately perpendicular to the PtCl3 plane .In Zeise's salt and related compounds, the alkene rotates about the metal-alkene bond with modest activation energy
