The structure and transformations of radical cations derived from saturated hydrocarbons in the gas phase and solution may be, in most cases, predicted with high‐level computational methods. The review covers so‐called sigma‐radical cations, i.e., the species with partially broken CH and CC bonds. The radical cations formed from the small acyclic (methane, ethanes, and butanes), as well as cyclic (cyclopropane, cyclobutane, and rotanes) and polycyclic hydrocarbons were analyzed.
