24. Hexaphenylethanes are notorious for giving the disordered crystal structures around the inner C-C bond due to the 'globular' molecular shape (Ref. 14). Since the carbocations 2 possess the similar structural features, there will be high possibility that the C-H ⋯ C part in 2 with four aryl groups of a kind suffers from positional disorder in crystal, thus preventing the chance to tell the localized structure from the delocalized one by X-ray analysis
