	abstract = {Predominantly sigma-bonded metal carbonyl cations (sigma-carbonyls) are conveniently generated in the Lewis superacid SbF5 or the conjugate Bronsted-Lewis superacid HF-SbF5, primarily by solvolytic or reductive carbonylations. Thermally stable salts are formed with the fluoroantimonate(v) ions [SbF6](-) and [Sb2F11](-). The salts are characterised by analytical, structural, spectroscopic and computational methods. Most homoleptic carbonyl cations have very regular geometries, comensurate with their d-electron configurations: linear (d(10)), square planar (d(8)) or octahedral(d(6)). The cations with metals in oxidation states of +2 or +3 are termed "superelectrophilic". Extended molecular structures form by significant interionic C-F contacts with electrophilic carbon as acceptor. To account for all experimental observations, a conceptually simple synergetic bonding model is proposed. An outlook at anticipated future developments based on very recent results is provided.},
