After more than 60 years, crystals of the 2-norbornyl cation have finally put its \u2018nonclassical\u2019 structure, with a pentacoordinate carbon, beyond doubt<\/span><\/div>\nGerman scientists have solved the long-sought crystal structure of an ion at the frontline of a war of interpretation that raged for years. Karsten Meyer<\/a> from Friedrich-Alexander-University in Erlangen and his teammates have ended a 64 year wait for this most definitive evidence of \u2018nonclassical\u2019 2-norbornyl carbocation structures<\/a>. \u2018The crystallography was a tour-de-force,\u2019 Meyer tells Chemistry World<\/em>. \u2018The procedure is insane \u2013 it put us through torture.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
