Steric and electronic properties for a series of u-complexes have been examined by experimental and theoretical techniques. Crystal structures for three 2,4,6-tripyrrolidinocyclohexadienylium salts 3a, 3b, and 4a and for l-methyl-2,4,6tripyrrolidinobenzene 5 are reported. With respect to the cyclohexadienylium ring, the H,H u-complexes, 3, display a planar conformation whereas u-complexes 4 and...
