The transmetallation reaction between the PtCl6^2- ion and aryl derivatives of non-transition metals (Hg, Sn, Pb or B) affords the anionic ?-aryl complexes previously prepared by the reaction of PtCl6^2- with arenes.When treated with olefins, the complexes give arylated olefins.Heating a solution of the complex ^- with an other arene (Ar'H) leads to the formation of the complex ^- (transarylation reaction).
