Structure of the 2-norbornyl cation, an iconic nonclassical ion. The structure was deduced from X-ray crystallography. C-C bond lengths not labeled are normal (ca. 1.5 Å).[1]

In chemistry, a nonclassical ion usually refers to carbonium ions, a family of organic cations. They are characterized by delocalized three-center, two-electron bonds. The more stable members are often bi- or polycyclic.[2] [3]

Examples

Historically, nonclassical ions were invoked to explain unusually fast solvolyses of steroidal, norbornyl, and cyclopropyl halides.[4] [5] Explanations for these rates was once controversial.[6]

The 2-norbornyl cation is one of the best characterized carbonium ions:

C7H10 + H+ → C7H+11

In fact, it has emerged as the prototype for non-classical ions. As indicated first by low-temperature NMR spectroscopy and confirmed by X-ray crystallography,[1] it has a symmetric structure with an RCH2+ group bonded to an alkene group, stabilized by a bicyclic structure.

Solvolyses of cyclopropylcarbinyl, cyclobutyl, and homoallyl esters are also characterized by very large rates, and have been shown to occur via a common nonclassical ion structure in the form of a bicyclobutonium ion.[7] [8]
