Distonic ion

Distonic ions are chemical species that contain both a radical and an ionic site on different atoms of the same molecule.^[1][2] They were first discovered in the gas phase by Michael L. Gross.^[3] In recent years there has been a tremendous effort to identify new distonic species, characterize their reactivity, and measure their stability.^[4][5][6]
