Certain σ-type, carbon-centered mono-and biradicals, the dehydro-and didehydroarenes, play an important role in organic synthesis, development of new organic materials, and the biological activity of organic compounds.[1, 2] Therefore, numerous investigations have focused on their properties.[1–5] In contrast, the related σ, σ, σ-triradicals (tridehydroarenes) remain elusive. Almost all studies carried out on tridehydroarenes are computational in nature owing to the difficulty in studying such highly reactive species experimentally.[6] To the best of our knowledge, the only experimental studies reported for tridehydroarenes are thermochemical measurements on 1, 3, 5-tridehydrobenzene by Wenthold et al.[7] and IR detection of 1, 2, 3-tridehydrobenzene by Sander et al.[8] The chemical properties of tridehydroarenes appear to be entirely unexplored.We report here a kinetic reactivity study on a positively charged tridehydroarene, the 2, 4, 6-tridehydropyridinium cation (5). The gas-phase reactions of this triradical are compared to those of two related, previously unreported σ, σbiradicals, 2, 4-didehydropyridinium cation (3) and 2, 6-didehydropyridinium cation (4), as well as two σ-monoradicals, 4-dehydropyridinium cation (1) and 2-dehydropyridinium cation (2).
