The 2-norbornyl cation is a π-complex, not a σ-bridged, nonclassical species: an AIM study

Abstract

The 2-norbornyl cation is not a nonclassical, σ-bridged species but a π-complex. This was revealed in a new atoms in molecules (AIM) study of the topology of its charge density. Similarly, there is nothing nonclassical about the 2-bicyclo[2.2.2]octyl cation.
