Methods developed for the generation and study of stable carbomonocations can also be employed for similar investigations on carbodications. Trivalent (classical) as well as hexacoordinate (non-classical) carbodications studied under long-lived ion conditions are reviewed with special emphasis on their structural features, and investigated primarily by 'Hand 13C-NMR spectroscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
