β,β-dichlorovinyldiazonium or Dichloro(diazomethyl)carbenium Ion? Crystal Structure and Electron Density Distribution of β,β- Dichlorovinyldiazonium Hexachloroantimonate

Abstract

The crystal structure of β,β-dichlorovinyldiazonium hexachloroantimonate, 2·SbCl6, and the topological electron density analysis of 2 provide compelling evidence for the importance of chlorine-stabilized carbenium ion resonance forms for the stabilization of vinyldiazonium ions by β-substitution.
