The unusually extensive exocyclic charge flight (from cyclopropenyl to organo moiety) proposed for the cyanocyclopropenide ion is affirmed by MINDO/3 calculation. Nevertheless, the MINDO/3 wave function for this ion is shown not to be absolutely antiaromatic. The basis for exocyclic charge flight is shown, using the “de‐perturbation” approach, to be the small (cyclopropenide) HOMO/ (cyano) LUMO gap.
