Structural proof of a [C–F–C]+ fluoronium cation

Unlike other halogen atoms, the ability for fluorine to exist in a [C–X–C]+ connectivity pattern has only been shown in spectroscopic studies. Here the authors present a single crystal structure of a fluoronium cation, characterized by X-ray diffraction.
