The existence of cations of the type R 3 Si + in solution or in the solid state is still controversial. In the novel silyl cation in 2 the π ligands greatly help in stabilizing the cationic center. Compound 2 was obtained from decamethylsilicocene and catechol via the aryloxysilane 1 and was characterized unequivocally by 1 H, 13 C, and 29 Si NMR spectroscopy, molecular weight determination, and conductance measurements.
