Reductive elimination of neopentane from cis ‐hydridoneopentyl[η 2 ‐bis(di‐ tert ‐butylphosphanyl)methane]platinum (II), (dtbpm)Pt(Np)(H) ( 1 ), allows to generate the 14‐electron fragment [(dtbpm)Pt(0)] ( 2 ) at ambient temperature. This highly reactive intermediate is capable of activating C–F bonds of hexafluorobenzene, yielding exclusively the C–F insertion product (dtbpm)Pt(C 6 F 5 )F ( 3 ).
