Abstract
The structure of the tert-butyl cation (1) could be determined by an X-ray crystal structure analysis of its Sb 2 F 11 -salt at-80 o C (P2 1 , a=6.123(2) A, b=13.758(4) A, c=7.614(4) A, β=100.67(3) o ; R=0.029, R w =0.029). suitable crystals of 1-Sb 2 F 11 were obtained only from a methylene chloride solution of the corresponding tert-pentyl salt by slow decomposition. The cation is planar within our limits of accuracy, the C + -C bonds have an average length of 1.442(5) A, and the C-C + -C bond angles are 120(1) o
