Abstract

Tetrahedral [Pt(PF~3~)~4~] reacts with H^+^ to form trigonal bipyramidal [Pt(PF~3~)~4~H]^+^. This in turn looses PF~3~ to form square‐planar [Pt(PF~3~)~3~H]^+^. The complex [Pt(PF~3~)~4~] can be oxidized with AsF~5~ to form the square‐planar complex, [Pt(PF~3~)~4~]^2+^, which can be more conveniently obtained from PtF~4~ and PF~3~ in HF/SbF~5~ solution. [Pt(PF~3~)~4~]^2+^ reacts with F^−^ in HF under cluster formation to [Pt~4~(PF~3~)~8~H]^+^.
