Theoretical Studies of Polyvinyl-Substituted Carbenium and Silylenium Ions

Abstract
Ab initio (ST0-2G and 3-21G) calculations have been performed to analyze the ability of one, two, and three vinyl groups to stabilize the CH3 + and SiH3 + ions. Vinyl groups appear to be quite effective at stabilizing the positive charge on the silylenium ion, and successive vinylization preferentially stabilizes the silicon relative to the carbon ion.
