Abstract
We report a new triarylmethyl carbocation radical which was easily synthesized via one-pot approach. Interestingly, this cis triarylmethyl carbocation radical converted to the trans one upon protonation. Such an obviously conformational change is triggered by the intermolecular hydrogen bond interaction involving one exocyclic keto oxygen atom and the protonated pyridinium nitrogen atom. Two triarylmethyl carbocation radical crystals were characterized by the elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. A change in conformation also brings about change in crystal structure, phosphorescence and magnetic susceptibility properties.
