  • Patent number: 4328286
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of electrodepositing palladium on a substrate e.g. an electrical switch contact, to give a coating having low transverse porosity and good slip wear resistance. The method involves electrodepositing a first layer from an alkaline bath containing a cationic palladium ammine complex and then electrodepositing on the first layer a second layer from an acid bath containing an anionic palladium nitrite complex.

  • Patent number: 4297178
    Abstract: The invention provides a bath that is operable at, or close to, pH 7 to deposit a coating of ruthenium on a substrate, e.g. the contacts of electrical switches, which does away with the need to provide a protective coating on the substrate prior to ruthenium plating. The bath consists essentially of (i) a compound or a complex that contains a nitrogen bridge linkage joining together two ruthenium atoms and (ii) an aqueous solution of oxalic acid or an oxalate.

  • Patent number: 4273755
    Abstract: A process is provided for preparing cis-Pt(NH.sub.3).sub.2 Cl.sub.2 and intermediates. As a step in the process the intermediate cis-Pt(NH.sub.3).sub.2 I.sub.2 is prepared from K.sub.2 PtI.sub.4 by adding NH.sub.4 OH under controlled conditions of temperature and pH. The cis-Pt(NH.sub.3).sub.2 Cl.sub.2 is provided in high yield and purity.
