byproducts: AgI; Ag:Pt=1.28:0.65 molar ratio, Pt compd. added to a soln. of Ag salt, stirred overnight at 40°C in the dark, filtered, KCl (excess) added, stored for 24 h; ppt. centrifuged, washed (cold water, ethanol, diethyl ether), dried (vac.);
in methanol
Kinetics; reduction of Pt(IV)-complex by Pt(II)-complex in MeOH in the presence of chloride ions depending on temperature (25, 35, 45°C); monitored by UV-spectroscopy;
