The ab initio MP2/6–311 ++ G** method was employed to examine the interaction of five electrophiles, Cl 2 , Br 2 NO + , SiH 3 + and CH 3 + , with benzene. These groups exhibited a full range of complexation from true π‐complexes to full σ‐complexes (Wheland ions). The energy of complex formation increases in the order given above.
