Desperately seeking silyenylium : Electrophilic attack of silylene 1 (R=2,6‐diisopropylphenyl) by B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 and H + afforded the silylene‐like zwitterion 2 and the “free” silyliumylidene cation 3 (in the presence of the noncoordinating [B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] − anion), respectively. Cations 2 and 3 represent a novel class of low‐coordinate silicon cations with promising potential for the synthesis of heteroleptic silylenes.
