Formation of the radical cation of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octamethylanthracene from bis(pentamethylphenyl)methane in trifluoroacetic acid
Abstract
The radical cation formed upon dissolution of bis(pentamethylphenyl)methane in trifluoroacetic acid has been shown to be that of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octamethylanthracene.
