title: Preparation and characterization of [CF3SO3(SiMe3)2]+[B(C6F5)4]-.
abstract: Using tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, [B(C(6)F(5))(4)](-), as weakly coordinating counterion, the bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoromethylsulfonium cation, [CF(3)SO(3)(Me(3)Si)(2)](+), is readily isolated for X-ray, NMR and IR structural characterization.
