text: Wolffram’s Red Salt is an inorganic compound with the double salt formula [Pt(CHNH)Cl] [Pt(CHNH)]Cl·4HO. This compound is an early example of a one-dimensional coordination polymer, serving as a representative structure for studies in solid-state physics. This species has been of interest due to the unusual mixed valence system of Pt(II) and Pt(IV) bridged by a chlorine atom. The deep red color of the double salt, where the components were colorless, piqued the interest of early inorganic chemists and ultimately inspired studies into the physical properties of the compound in search of potential applications.
