Stabilized by four β‐silyl groups through hyperconjugation, 1 is the first vinyl cation without π conjugation to be detected by NMR. The 13 C NMR spectrum of 1 at 130 o shows separate signals for the two silyl groups on the methine C atom. Ab initio MO calculations on model systems showed that hyperconjugation controls this hindered rotation, resulting in a preference for a conformation with distortion.
