Keywords: Kinetics / Linear free energy relationships / Carbocations / SolvolysisIonization rate constants of differently substituted trityl halides and carboxylates have been determined by conductimetry at 25°C in aqueous acetonitrile and in acetone. Common ion return was suppressed by the addition of piperidine, which traps the generated tritylium ions. The obtained rate constants were subjected to Winstein-Grunwald and Hammett analyses. The solvolysis rate constants of trityl chlorides
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
