Highly Selective Recovery of Pt(IV) from HCl Solutions by Precipitation Using 1,4-Bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane as a Precipitating Agent by Kazuya Matsumoto, Ryu Sakamoto, Yoshiya Sakuta, Ryota Aoki, Hiroshi Katagiri, Mitsutoshi Jikei

“…Although Pt(IV) was recovered as a precipitate containing BACT, it was found that Pt black could be readily obtained by dissolving the precipitate in HCl solution followed by reduction with sodium borohydride. Detailed structural analysis of the Pt(IV)-containing precipitate revealed that it is an ionic crystal composed of [PtCl₆]²⁻ and protonated BACT. …”
