Triarylsulfonium polyfluoro metal or metalloid salts are provided by effecting the oxidation of a diarylsulfide, while under dehydrating conditions, in the presence of a strong protonic acid. The resulting triarylsulfonium acid salt can thereafter be directly metathesized with an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal polyhalo salt. These compounds have the general formula MF6- + R6Q(R7Q)cR7SR7(QR7)dQR6 where Q is selected from =S->O, -S- and mixtures thereof, M is a transition metal or metalloid, "c" is an integer of 1 to 3, "d" is an integer of 0 to 3, R6 is phenyl or naphthyl, R7 is phenylene or naphthalene optionally substituted with one or more radicals selected from the class consisting of -CH3, -OCH3, -CO2H, -Br, -Cl, and NO2.
