Interaction of Vinyl-Type Carbocations, C₃H₅⁺ and C₄H₇⁺ with Molecules of Water, Alcohols, and Acetone.

ABSTRACT: X-ray diffraction analysis and IR spectroscopy were used to study the products of the interaction of vinyl cations C₃H₅⁺ and C₄H₇⁺ (Cat⁺) (as salts of carborane anion CHB₁₁Cl₁₁^-) with basic molecules of water, alcohols, and acetone that can crystallize from solutions in dichloromethane and C₆HF₅. Interaction with water, as content increased, proceeded via three-stages. (1) adduct Cat⁺·OH₂ forms in which H₂O binds (through the O atom) to the C=C⁺ bond of the cation with the same strength as seen in the binding to Na in Na(H₂O)₆⁺. (2) H⁺ is transferred from cation Cat^+</
