2.[1][2][3]

Synthesis

Production of platinum(II) iodide can be by heating of platinum(II) chloride with potassium iodide:

PtCl2 + 2KI → PtI2 + 2KCl

Chemical properties

Platinum(II) iodide decomposes when heated:[4]

Ptl2 → Pt + I2

Physical properties

Platinum(II) iodide forms black crystals[5] of several modifications. It is insoluble in water, ethanol, acetone, or ether, but is soluble in ethylamine and hydrogen iodide.[6]
