Conclusions
-
1.
The interaction of the dipotassium salt of the cyclooctatetraene dianion with triphenylchloromethane is accompanied by a transfer of electrons, with the formation of cyclooctatetraene. At the same time, the triphenylmethyl anion (if the donor and acceptor interact in equivalent amounts) or the triphenylmethyl radical (when the amount of the acceptor is twice the equivalent amount) arises.
-
2.
The interaction of triphenylmethylpotassium with cyclooctatetraene was accompanied by a transfer of electrons and is reversible.
-
3.
The interaction of equivalent amounts of the dipotassium salt of the tetraphenylethylene dianion and triphenylchloromethane is accompanied by a transfer of electrons. As a result tetraphenylethylene and the triphenylmethyl anion are formed.
