Abstract

The appearance potentials of two sterically hindered nonplanar carbonium ions (from bicyclo [2.2.1] heptyl bromide and bicyclo [2.2.2] octyl bromide) are found to be higher than the appearance potential of an analogous planar carbonium ion. From these results it is inferred that in general the appearance potentials of unhindered ions correspond to the formation of the ions in essentially equilibrium configurations.
