Used in the synthesis of platinum-based catalysts for industrial chemical reactions, particularly in hydrogenation and oxidation processes. Plays a role in electroplating applications where a platinum coating is required for corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. Also utilized in research settings for the preparation of other platinum complexes in medicinal chemistry, including potential anticancer agents. Its ammine ligands make it useful in coordination chemistry studies and the development of new materials with tailored catalytic properties.
