Cations for all seasons : Silylium cations, because of their high Lewis acidity, are suitable for catalysis like almost no other class of reactive cations. Starting from a new, elegant synthetic route to triarylsilylium ions and their application in hydrogen activation, the general potential of silylium ions in synthesis is discussed.
