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] + .
