Abstract The reactions of platinum(II) iodide with triethyl‐ or trimethylsulfonium iodide in acetonitrile solution lead to the formation of crystalline products (Et 3 S) 2 [PtI 6 ] ( 1 ) and [Me 3 S] 2 [PtI 6 ]·CH 3 CN ( 2 ), respectively. The formation of Pt(IV) complexes may be explained either by disproportionation of PtI 2 or oxidation by oxygen. Palladium(II) iodide reacts with triethylsulfonium iodide to give the palladium(II) complex (Et 3 S) 2 [PdI 4 ] ( 3 ). The crystal structures of 1 – 3 were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. In the crystal structures, the compounds 2 and 3 exhibit an extensive hydrogen‐bonding network.
