No tricoordinated silylium ion, R, Si+, has been reported to date."] The most widely accepted criteria for determining silylium character are the*'Si chemical shift and suitable structural parameters obtained from crystallography that indicate tricoordination and planarity. The closest approaches to such a species with alkyl groups have been our work [2] with the tetrakis (pentafluoropheny1) borate anion (TPFPB) and Reed's work [31 with various carborane anions. Chemical shifts in the range 0f6 ('~ Si)= 90-115 and C-Si-C angles of 114-117" were observed.['. 31 The ideal angle for tricoordination is 120" and, according to calculations for the gas phase, chemical shifts of 6= 350-380 are expected for these alkyl sub~ tituents.[~ 1 Reed et al. noted that nonspecific solvation beyond the van der Waals radius of silicon may significantly lower the chemical shift. In their opinion, the optimal species observed to date have 36-52% silylium ion~ haracter.'~] The high electrophilicity of tricoordinate silicon is responsible for its strong kinetic drive to coordinate.
