Solvation shells surrounding complex inorganic anions have not been extensively studied and are often mentioned with an amorphous picture in mind. We use a computational model previously validated against experimental results and ab initio quantum calculations (Lienke, A.; Klatt, G.; Robinson, D.; Koch, K. R.; Naidoo, K. J. Inorg. Chem. 2001, 40, 2352-2357) to investigate the nature of the hydration shells about simple platinum group metal chloro complexes ([PtCl6](2-), [RhCl6](3-), [PtCl4](2-), and [PdCl4](2-)). Our simulations show that the hydration shells surrounding these complexes are symmetric and take on familiar geometric forms. We find that only the [RhCl6](3-) complex has a clearly defined second hydration shell while the [PtCl6](2-), [PtCl4](2-), and [PdCl4](2-) second hydration shells are more diffuse.
