Ammonium hexachloroplumbate is an inorganic chemical compound with the chemical formula (NH4)2PbCl6.[1][2][3]

Synthesis

[edit]

Adding ammonium chloride to a solution of lead(IV) tetraacetate in concentrated hydrochloric acid.[4]

Physical properties

[edit]

Ammonium hexachloroplumbate forms yellow crystals of cubic system.[5][6]

The compound is slightly soluble in cold water and decomposes in hot water.

Chemical properties

[edit]

When added to cold concentrated sulphuric acid, the compound decomposes, yielding PbCl4:[6][7]

(NH4)2PbCl6 + H2SO4 → (NH4)2SO4 + PbCl4 + 2HCl

The compound chlorinates tetraorganolead and hexaorganodilead compounds.[8]
