USE
triphenylmethyl: An unusual aromatic compound that can exist as an anion, cation or free radical, (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub>C. Treatment of triphenylcarbinol in alcoholic solution with mineral acids produces triphenylmethyl salts, containing the cation (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub>C<sup>+</sup>, which crystallize as orange- red solids. The action of sodium on a solution of triphenylmethyl chloride in ether produces the yellow (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub>C<sup>–</sup> anion. The free radical form is made by treating triphenylmethyl chloride with mercury or zinc in the absence of oxygen.
