Abstract
Facile transmetalation is observed from a d8 metal, platinum(II), to indium and gallium leading to the extrusion of methylated gallate and indate anions representing a rare case of the “reverse” transmetalation from a d8 metal to a main group metal. The Pt–Ga and Pt–In bonding in the bimetallic complexes was analyzed through bosonic and fermionic potentials, QTAIM, and NBO.
