title: Stable ion study of regioisomeric carboxonium-substituted pyrenium ions: directive effects, charge delocalization mode, and conformational aspects.
abstract: Regioisomeric monoacyl- and monobenzoyl-substituted pyrenes are diprotonated in FSO(3)H.SbF(5) (4:1)/SO(2)ClF to give persistent carboxonium-pyrenium dications, whereas diacetyl- and dibenzoylpyrenes are diprotonated to give dicarboxonium dications. The resulting dications were studied by low-temperature NMR at 500 MHz. Conformational aspects of the carboxonium group in various regioisomers are addressed by a combination of NOED spectra and 2D-NMR and AM1 calculations. Charge delocalization pathways are gauged and compared on the basis of the magnitude of Deltadelta (13)C values.
