Distonic Ions current article

Distonic ions are chemical species that contain 2 ionic charges on the same molecule. The charges must be separated by two or more carbon or hetero atoms to count as distonic (distant). Otherwise it is a gitonic (close) ion. For example, the acid-catalyzed Grewe-cyclization is a well-known reaction based on formation of a distonic ion, initiating the ring closing step as a superelectrophile.[1] Distonic radical ions were first discovered in the gas phase by Michael L. Gross.[2] In recent years there has been a tremendous effort to identify new distonic species, characterize their reactivity, and measure their stability.[3][4][5]

Plans for this article/ Outline

As you can see this article has little to nothing so I plan to expand greatly on this topic and add much more detail.

• sections (adding sections is mandatory)

-brief general explanation
-table of contents
-history
-how it works
-any equations if necessary
-organize and add to bibliography

• pictures

Hello, I'm Flooded with them hundreds. I noticed that in this edit to Distonic ion, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- Flooded w/them 100s 06:19, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
