The two isomeric tris(trichlorothienyl)carbinols have been synthesized. Upon treatment with acid the tris(trichlorothienyl)carbenium ions were formed, which upon reduction with iodide gave the tris(trichlorothienyl)methyl radicals, which were studied by epr‐spectroscopy. The β‐isomer, the tris(2,4,5‐trichloro‐3‐thienyl)methyl radical, was much more stable than the α‐isomer and showed great similarity to the perchlorotrityl radical.
