dc.description.abstract<p>A computational study has been carried out to examine the feasibility of generating a simple monocyclic cyclopentadienylcation that may be sufficiently stable to isolate and handle at ambient temperatures. Using judicious placement of electron-withdrawing groups (CF3) about the ring we have identified a derivative that may approach the stability of isolobal (and isolatable) borole rings, as evaluated by HOMO–LUMO and singlet–triplet gaps. These Cp+ derivatives may therefore be an attractive target for synthetic isolation.</p>
