Collection: Carbenium Salts [Non-Heterocyclic Building Blocks]

Carbenium Salts [Non-Heterocyclic Building Blocks] — covers carbenium cation salts such as trityl and tropylium derivatives paired with non-coordinating anions such as tetrafluoroborate or tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate. These cations are stable as solid salts due to charge delocalization in their aromatic systems.

Carbenium Salts are used by synthetic chemists as hydride abstraction reagents, catalyst activators, and initiators in cationic polymerization and carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions. Non-coordinating trityl borate salts are also widely used to activate transition metal catalysts in olefin polymerization and various other organometallic chemical reactions.

Example products in this collection: TCI T2863 136040-19-2 Triphenylmethylium Tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, TCI T1121 27081-10-3 Tropylium Tetrafluoroborate, TCI T1173 341-02-6 Triphenylmethylium Tetrafluoroborate.

Selection considers the type of anion (tetrafluoroborate or tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate), which affects reactivity and solubility in nonpolar solvents, as well as the compound's sensitivity to airborne moisture. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
