The enantiomerisation pathway for {[Pt(thiourea) 4 ]}F + [a model for the C 4 ‐symmetric [Pt(SU) 4 ]SiF 6 (SU = thiourea) complex] and derivatives is explored by density functional theory (B3LYP/LANL2DZp) und the activation barrier for the one‐step process from C 4 to C 4 ′ via a C 4 transition state is computed. The substitution of Pt 2+ by Pd 2+ and Ni 2+ and the exchange of selenourea and tellurourea increase the barrier. ({[Pt(thiourea) 4 ]}F + : 4.2 kcal/mol, {[Pd(thiourea) 4 ]}F + : 4.5 kcal/mol, {[Ni(thiourea) 4 ]}F + : 7.6 kcal/mol, {[Pt(selenourea) 4 ]}F + : 5.3 kcal/mol, {[Pt(tellurourea) 4 ]}F + : 8.8 kcal/mol).
