Koelsch radical

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two of many conceivable mesomeric boundary structures of the Koelsch radical.

In chemistry, the Koelsch radical , even Kölsch radical, a particularly stable carbon -centered radical . This is due to the large number of exceptionally stable mesomeric boundary structures.

Manufacturing

The reaction of α, γ-bisdiphenylene-β-phenylallyl chloride with mercury leads to the formation of the Koelsch radical.

Reactivity

It can be converted into various other chemical substances, a "blue anion, a dianion radical of presumably yellow color and a red trianion".

designation

The Koelsch radical was named after C. Frederick Koelsch , professor of organic chemistry at the University of Minnesota .
