Nine tropylium ions have been synthesized and the empirical stability parameters (i)–(iv) have been measured along with the parameters of known tropylium and cyclopropenylium ions:(I) the Cr (II)-ion reduction rate constant (k2) in 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid at 25.0°;(ii) the charge-transfer frequency (vCTmax) with pyrene in 1, 2-dichloroethane;(iii) the reduction peak potential (Ered) in dichloromethane or in acetonitrile; and (iv) the pKR+ ...
