Salts of electrophilic cations and Lewis acid-base adducts with weakly coordinating anions : synthesis, characterization and quantum chemical calculations

During the last decades, weakly coordinating anions (WCAs) have become a field of great interest both in basic and applied chemistry, as – if compared to "normal" classical anions like Cl- or SO42- – they have a lot of unique and unusual properties, such as high solubility in low dielectric media (l
