The evidence for the formation of adduct ions from the gas-phase reaction of charged electrophiles with aromatic substrates is critically evaluated. Experimental results concerning a few typical substrates, and a concise survey of the available data from mass spectrometric and other well established techniques, lead to the conclusion that adduct ions are indeed formed in gas-phase aromatic substitution.
