In this HOT article, Fornies and co-workers describe the efficient stereoselective synthesis of salts of any of the following trifluoromethylplatinum(IV) isomeric couples: cis-/trans-[Pt(CF3)4Cl2]2- and fac-/mer-[Pt(CF3)3Cl3]2-. All these compounds can be isolated in high yields and have been characterised by a combination of analytical, spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction methods.
