59. The thiiranium substrate scope was limited to those compounds that could be prepared cleanly and differentiated from each other by 1H NMR analysis if present in a mixture. The S-Ph analogues of thiiranium ions 5 and 6 were unstable at the temperatures required to perform our investigations. Thiiranium analogues of cyclohexyl seleniranium ions 9 and 10 have been reported in the literature but are not stable above-40 °C.
60. The relative thermodynamic ground-state energies of seleniranium ions 9 and 13 correspond nicely to the expected relative energies for strained cis-bicyclo[ 4.1.0]heptane and cis-bicyclo[6.1.0]nonane, respectively.
