Noblesse oblige : The SiF 3 2+ dication, a superelectrophilic reagent, enables the formation of noble gas–silicon compounds in thermal ion–molecule reactions. Bimolecular collisions of mass‐selected SiF 3 2+ dications with argon lead to the dication ArSiF 2 2+ with a covalent ArSi bond as the major product at thermal energies. An unambiguous signal for the NeSiF 2 2+ dication is also observed, but in much lower yields.
