Platinum (IV) Oxide commonly referred to as AdamтАЩs Catalyst is used frequently in organic synthesis reactions, mainly catalytic hydrogenation. The compound itself shows no cytotoxicity in cells of the pulmonary origin when compared to its PtCl4 counterpart. It has also been used as a catalyst in amperometric biosensors that are based on oxidase enzymes.
