The concept of superelectrophiles thus emerged from my previous studies on superacidic carbocation and onium ion systems.

Around 1950 S. Winstein in the USA found a short-lived carbocation that contained penta-coordinated carbon.

Investigations of the nucleophilic substitution reactions and rearrangements of 2-norbornyl derivatives led S. Winstein to suggest in the early 1950s that the intermediate carbocation was non-classical and contained a pentacoordinated carbon

Olah's contributions to carbocation chemistry have also led to new industrial processes e.g. for the production of high-octane petrol.

Since these postulated "carbocation intermediates" were likely to be not only very short lived but also very reactive, it was generally assumed that one would never be able to prepare them in some quantities.
