Pyramidanes C[C 4 R 4 ] constitute a novel class of highly strained and reactive polyhedral clusters that attracted a great deal of attention of both theoreticians and experimentalists. Although well‐studied from the theoretical viewpoint, pyramidanes were synthetically inaccessible, and only very recently their very first isolable representatives have been described. In this Communication, we report on the synthesis and structural studies of the cationic pyramidane with the Group 15 element at the apex, namely, phosphapyramidane, an isoelectronic analogue of the neutral pyramidanes of the Group 14 elements.
