Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>This work describes the synthesis and full characterization of elusive chloropnictenium ion salts of the type [^RAr*N(SiMe)ECl][A] (^RAr*=2, 6‐(CHPh_{<italic>2</italic>})‐4‐R‐C₆H_{<italic>2</italic>}, R=Me, <italic>t</italic>Bu; E=Sb, Bi; A⁻=GaCl₄, Al(OCH(CF₃)₂)₄). In these species the cation is significantly stabilized by weak arene interactions to flanking phenyl groups of the ^RAr* moiety. In this context the bonding situation has been studied by computational means and the reactivity towards the Lewis base 4‐dimethylaminopyridine (dmap) was investigated.</p> </abstract>
