Superelectrophiles: charge-charge repulsive effects.
Over the years, a significant number of di- and tricationic superelectrophiles have been studied. Many of these superelectrophiles exhibit charge-charge repulsive effects due to the interaction of the positive charges. Charge-charge repulsion can lead to novel molecular rearrangements, profoundly influence reactivities, and may significantly effect molecular structure.
