Speciation of [Pt(IV) Cl6-n Brn]2- (n = 0-6) and some of their mono-aquated [Pt(IV) Cl5-n Brn (H2O)]- (n = 0-5) anions in solution at low concentrations by means of ion-pairing reversed-phase ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the significance of different platinum complexes ([PtCl6-n Brn](2-) and [PtCl5-n Brn (H2O)](-)) in the precious metal refining and nano-crystal preparation processes.
- The research employs a method using ion-pairing reversed-phase ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-Q-TOFMS) to effectively separate and identify these platinum complexes.
- Results show that prior separation of complexes before mass spectrometry is crucial for obtaining clear and interpretable spectra, improving detection and analysis of these low-volatility inorganic compounds.
