Kinetically stabilized congeners of carbenes, R 2 C, possessing six valence electrons (four bonding electrons and two non‐bonding electrons) have been restricted to Group 14 elements, R 2 E (E=Si, Ge, Sn, Pb; R=alkyl or aryl) whereas isoelectronic Group 15 cations, divalent species of type [R 2 E] + (E=P, As, Sb, Bi; R=alkyl or aryl), were unknown. Herein, we report the first two examples, namely the bismuthenium ion [(2,6‐Mes 2 C 6 H 3 ) 2 Bi][BAr F 4 ] ( 1 ; Mes=2,4,6‐Me 3 C 6 H 2 , Ar F =3,5‐(CF 3 ) 2 C 6 H 3 ) and the stibenium ion [(2,6‐Mes 2 C 6 H 3 ) 2 Sb][B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] ( 2 ), which were obtained by using a combination of bulky meta ‐terphenyl substituents and weakly coordinating anions.
