Computational Evidence for a Free Silylium Ion

Abstract
Ab initio calculations are the method of choice to gain an insight into the structure and properties of silylium ions, especially when an X-ray structure cannot be obtained, as in the case of trimesitylsilylium (1). The computed structures and properties of triarylsilylium ions suggest that 1 is the first free silylium ion prepared in the condensed phase.
