Gas phase substituent effects. Stabilities of 1-aryl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl cations
Gas-phase stabilities of 1-aryl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl cations were determined based on chloride-transfer equilibria. The substituent effect was analyzed based on the LArSR Eq., giving a remarkably high r of 1.53 and a ρ of -14.6.
