Tri(phosphonio)methanide dication 3 2+ , prepared from a trifluoromethylsulfanylphosphonium dication ( 1 2+ ) via an intramolecular electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, is an unexpected P‐based, water‐resistant Lewis acid that is capable to selectively and reversibly bind fluoride ions from organic/aqueous biphasic solution. The formed complex is an unusual fluorophosphorane ( [3‐F] OTf). The multiple donor–acceptor interactions of 3 2+ that are crucial for the fluoride fixation have been elucidated by quantum chemical calculation. Compound [3‐F] OTf can also be used as a convenient anhydrous fluoride ion source and was probed as a suitable catalyst of the silylotrifluoromethylation of various aldehydes.
