The SASAPOS protocol – a general reaction sequence which allows the complete exchange of various neutral ligands X in organic, elementorganic, and inorganic systems by cationic ligands L+ – has been applied to a small variety of pentafluoro benzene derivatives C6F5–E (E = –C(O)H, –C(N–Ph)H, –PCl2/–P(L+)2, –H) yielding the ion clusters C6(L+)5–E (F3CSO3–)5. The reaction conditions required to observe a heteropolar C–C or C–P disconnection, with a highly stabilized pentakisonio‐substituted phenyl anion as the key intermediate, are specified. When E = H, the latter compound also figures as the key intermediate during H/D exchange under basic conditions. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005)
