26. These diverging interpretations of the nature of the bridging phenyl groups in cations 6 and 7 are redolent of the debate on the nature of Cram's phenonium ion; see for example: (a) Sieber, S.; Schleyer, P. v. R.; Gauss, J. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1993, 116, 6987.

58. No clear assignment of the missing C-F resonances of the anion could be done due to overlapping signals; see Supporting Information.
59. 13C NMR chemical shifts of the bridging aryl group are mentioned. No clear assignment of the meta carbon atoms could be done due to overlapping signals with the naphthyl backbone; see Supporting Information.
