Designing catalysts : The five‐coordinate platinum(IV) complex A and the platinum(II) trans complex B act as precatalysts for the hydroarylation of unactivated olefins. The catalytic cycle features an aryl–olefin insertion at Pt II and a CH bond activation of the arene solvent as key steps. The Pt II cis complex C has been observed in hydroarylation reactions of ethylene with benzene.
