Adamantyl cations play a key role in carbocation chemistry. Only the 1‐adamantyl cation (1) was previously known. It has now been shown by collision activation mass spectrometry that different cations arise from 1‐ and 2‐ adamantyl bromide. Structural assignment of (2) is supported by deuteration experiments.
