The formation of highly reactive zwitterionic triaziniumimidothioate intermediates 10 from bis(1,3,4-thiadiazolo)-1,3,5-triazinium halides is reported. These intermediates are the first structures to be isolated from the reaction pathway between bis(1,3,4-thiadiazolo)-1,3,5-triazinium halides 1 and benzylamines 2. The reaction between 1 and 2 has a very complicated hypersurface and can yield unusual bis(1,2,4-triazolo)-1,3,5-triazinium halides 6, [1,2,4]triazolo [1,3,4]thiadiazolo[1,3,5]triazinium halides 7 or highly substituted guanidines 5. The formation of 6 and 7 can be understood in terms of an S N (ANRORC) process. As could be demonstrated for the tricyclic cations 6, these compounds, together with 7,
