The Ion‐Like Supersilylium Compound t Bu 3 Si–F–Al[OC(CF 3 ) 3 ] 3
The ion‐like silylium compounds t Bu 3 Si–F–Al[OC(CF 3 ) 3 ] 3 and Me 3 Si–F–Al[OC(CF 3 ) 3 ] 3 were prepared by degradation of the halonium salts [R 3 Si–X–SiR 3 ][Al{OC(CF 3 ) 3 } 4 ] { 1a (X): R = t Bu, X = Br, I; 1b (X): R = Me, X = Br, I}. The bromonium and iodonium salts 1a (Br), 1a (I), 1b (B...

1a
(Br),
1a
(I),
1b
(Br), and
1b
(I) are stable compounds. However, at higher temperatures
1a
(Br),
1a
(I),
1b
(Br), and
1b
(I) undergo R

SiX (R = Me,
t
Bu; X = Br, I) elimination to form the highly reactive silyl cations [R

(R = Me,
t

1a
(Br),
1a
(I),
1b
(Br), and
1b
(I): (1) the silylium cations [R

1a

1b
