Distonic ions are chemical species that contain both a radical and an ionic site on different atoms of the same molecule.distonic radical cation D01809 Stirk Krista M. 1992 Ion-molecule reactions of distonic radical cations Chemical Reviews 92 1649 10.1021/cr00015a008 They were first discovered in the gas phase by Michael L. Gross. Holman R. 1986 Mass spectrometry for investigations of gas-phase radical cation chemistry the two step cycloaddition of the benzene radical cation and 1,3-butadiene Tetrahedron 42 6235 10.1016/S0040-4020(01)88085-6 In recent years there has been a tremendous effort to identify new distonic species, characterize their reactivity, and measure their stability.Tomazela DM, Sabino AA, Sparrapan R, Gozzo FC, Eberlin MN Distonoid ions J.
