A series of 9-fluorenyl cations has been studied and it is shown that increasing charge on a heterocyclic substituent group enhances the anti-aromatic character of the carbocation system. Similarly, a series of dibenzosuberenyl cations has been studied and increasing charge on a substituent group is shown to enhance aromatic character in the carbocation system. These studies include the direct observations of dicationic and tricationic species using stable-ion conditions and low temperature NMR. The structures of these ions were further characterized using DFT calculations, confirming that highly charged organic ions may exhibit unusual distributions of pi-electrons and delocalization of electrons in 4n or 4n+ 2 pi-systems.
