Nonbonded electron pair donors (w-donors) are expectedly readily protonated (or coordinated) with superacids. Remarkably, this includes even xenon, long considered an inert gas. The protonation of some 7T-, (T- and -bases and their subsequent ionization to carbocations or onium ions is depicted as follows ...

More recent developments are based on the finding, that the d-orbitals of silicon, sulfur, phosphorus and certain transition metals may also stabilize a negative charge on a carbon atom. This is probably caused by a partial transfer of electron density from the carbanion into empty low-energy d-orbitals of the hetero atom ( backbonding ) or by the formation of ylides , in which a positively charged onium centre is adjacent to the carbanion and stabilization occurs by ylene formation. 

Cyclopentene derivatives with carboxylic acid side-chains can be stereoselectively hydroxy-lated by the iodolactonization procedure (E.J. Corey, 1969, 1970). To the trisubstituted cyclopentene described on p. 210 a large iodine cation is added stereoselectively to the less hindered -side of the 9,10 double bond. Lactone formation occurs on the intermediate iod-onium ion specifically at C-9ot. Later the iodine is reductively removed with tri-n-butyltin hydride. The cyclopentane ring now bears all oxygen and carbon substituents in the right stereochemistry, and the carbon chains can be built starting from the C-8 and C-12 substit""" ... 

Polyatomic Cations. Polyatomic cations derived by addition of more protons than required to give a neutral unit to polyatomic anions are named by adding the ending -onium to the root of the name of the anion element for example, PH4, phosphonium ion HjU, iodonium ion H3O+, oxonium ion CH3OHJ, methyl oxonium ion.

The solubHity properties of the PAG itself can play an important role in the overaH resist performance as weU (50). SolubHity differences between the neutral onium salt and the acidic photoproducts can be quite high and wHl affect the resist contrast. In fact onium salts can serve as dissolution inhibitors in novolac polymers, analogous to diazonaphthoquinones, even in the absence of any acid-sensitive chemical function (51).

Because of the special stabiHty of the hexafluoroarsenate ion, there are a number of appHcations of hexafluoroarsenates. For example, onium hexafluoroarsenates (33) have been described as photoinitiators in the hardening of epoxy resins (qv). Lithium hexafluoroarsenate [29935-35-1] has been used as an electrolyte in lithium batteries (qv). Hexafluoroarsenates, especially alkaH and alkaline-earth metal salts or substituted ammonium salts, have been reported (34) to be effective as herbicides (qv). Potassium hexafluoroarsenate [17029-22-0] has been reported (35) to be particularly effective against prickly pear. However, environmental and regulatory concerns have severely limited these appHcations. 

Ghlormequat Chloride. 2-CHoioethyltrimethylammonium chloride [999-81-5] (chlormequat chloride), known as CCC (20), is an onium-type plant growth regulator that has variable use depending on where it is used. CCC by itself is registered for use in the United States by the Environmental Protection Agency, but the mixture of CCC with choline chloride has not been approved. 

Most of the GA-synthesis inhibitors characterized so far affect two segments of the compHcated pathway from MVA to the many different GAs identified. The cycHzation reactions that produce / Akaurene are inhibited by the onium growth retardants, and the oxidations of /-kaurene to /-kaurenoic acid are sensitive to heterocycHc triazoles such as paclobutrazol and similar compounds. Other enzymes in the pathway are points for pathway dismption by as yet undeveloped GA biosynthesis inhibitors (236). 

However, the vast majority of research has been devoted to synthesis involving electrophilic substitution on the aromatic ring of hydroquinone. Hence, phenylhydroquinone can be obtained by the reaction of phenyl dia onium salts (18) with hydroquinone (82).
