Like a sunset the pure phosphorus cation [P 9 ] + , which was hitherto only known in the gas phase, now rises as the first member of this substance class in the liquid and solid‐state phases. I. Krossing et al. describe in their Communication on page 6529 ff. how pseudo‐gas‐phase conditions induced by the weakly coordinating anion [Al{OC(CF 3 ) 3 } 4 ] − led to the stabilization of the reactive cation in the condensed phase.
