Abstract
The first example of a hydrocarbon salt (1), C48H51 +C67H39 –, greenish black, stable crystals, has been isolated by mixing tetrahydrofuran solutions of Agranat's carbocation (2) and of Kuhn's carbanion (3), followed by recrystallization from dimethyl sulphoxide; the hydrocarbon (4), C74H46, orange powder, which heterolyses into the tropylium ion and the carbanion (3) in acetone or dimethyl sulphoxide, has been prepared by the reaction of the component hydrocarbon ions in tetrahydrofuran–acetonitrile.Keywords
