Dihydrogen hexachloroplatinate(IV) hydrate

[Mary Tang]

Hi Jakob --

A couple of things.  First, thanks for recognizing the policy on powders 
and crystals in the lab and arranging to mix up the chemical outside the 
cleanroom.  (We do have a small bench area outside the lab, if you want 
to make up your stock solution there.)

Second, when you say "galvanic deposition", this generally means you are 
using a power supply to provide potential energy for the reaction - 
i.e., electroplating.  If this is the case, then we really need to talk 
in detail about your experimental setup.

So, let us know about the power supply --

Thanks,

Mary
