Intramolecular Triarylmethane–Triarylmethylium Complexes with a Naphthalene-1,8-diyl Skeleton: Isolation, Structure, and Reactivities of the CH-Bridged Carbocations
um complexes with a naphthalene-1,8-diyl-type skeleton have been achieved. These bridged cations prefer a C--H localized structure both in solution and in the solid state. The bridging hydrogen undergoes a facile intramolecular 1,5-hydride shift from one carbon to another in solution. The C--H delocalized geometry is suggested to be the transition-state structure of the degeneraterearrangement. Charge-transfer
