Aromatic substitution in detail : How does one prove that the intermediate charge‐transfer (CT) complex (see scheme, where E=electrophile) is a key intermediate in the electrophilic substitution of arenes, and what is the structure, nature, and significance of this intermediate? On the basis of recent experimental findings these questions and others will be examined.
