Dipotassium tetrachloroplatinate  (Synonyms: Potassium tetrachloroplatinate(Ⅱ))

Dipotassium tetrachloroplatinate (Potassium tetrachloroplatinate (Ⅱ)) is an important reagent for the preparation of other platinum coordination complexes. Dipotassium tetrachloroplatinate acts as a radiosensitizer to enhance the killing effect of hyperthermia. Dipotassium tetrachloroplatinate serves as a catalyst. Dipotassium tetrachloroplatinate exhibits antitumor activity^[1][2].
