None of the other group 10 elements have a known biological role, but platinum compounds have widely been used as anticancer drugs.

Presumably, a platinum additive might be introduced as a platinum compound of some sort.

It is considered more reactive than the analogous platinum compound.

The main dose-limiting side effect of cancer treatment with platinum compounds is peripheral neurotoxicity.

Like many platinum compounds, chloroplatinic acid is used in catalysis.

The alkylating agents used in immunotherapy are nitrogen mustards (cyclophosphamide), nitrosoureas, platinum compounds, and others.

It is an important precursor used in the preparation of other platinum compounds.

Several major points are evident in comparison of the tethered complexes with the simple platinum compounds.

As is expected, tetracoordinate platinum(II) compounds tend to adopt 16-electron square planar geometries.

Hexachloroplatinic acid mentioned above is probably the most important platinum compound, as it serves as the precursor for many other platinum compounds.
