What is the Lewis structure of C3H5+ ion?

[QUOTE="TeethWhitener, post: 5667502, member: 511972"] 1. I should clarify: Sextet refers to the fact that the Lewis structure for the compound gives an electron count of six around the carbon with the formal positive charge. It does not refer to the number of bonds to carbon (just as a full octet of electrons around carbon doesn't imply octavalent carbon). 2. Also, NB -- C[SUB]3[/SUB]H[SUB]5[/SUB][SUP]+[/SUP] can be an allyl cation or a cyclopropyl cation. 3. Just to be really pedantic, carbon can in fact be hexavalent: consider the carboranes, or the FeMoCo core of nitrogenase. Edit: to be really really pedantic, I should say that carbon is hexacoordinate in these situations, not necessarily hexavalent. [/QUOTE]
