Platinum Plumbane

Platinum-lead complexes undergo a cleavage of Pt—Pb bond with halogens and halogen acids506,507 510. These reactions are believed to occur through an electrophilic attack on Pt(II) leading to oxidative addition with the formation of a hexa-coordinated Pt(IV) complex. Reductive elimination of a plumbane results in the observed products (equation 193).
