The kinetics of the hydride transfer reactions of the dibenzo‐tropylium ion ( 2 ) with dimethylphenylsilane ( 5 ) and triphenylsilane ( 6 ) were used to determine its electrophilicity parameter E = ‐0.71. The nucleophiles 7–9 react 10–40 times faster with 2 than expected from the linear free energy relationship (1), probably due to the formation of a ‐stabilized carbocation (e.g. 15 ). A detailed investigation of the reaction of 2 with isobutene ( 4 ) shows that the linear addition product 13a and the cyclization products are not formed via a common intermediate.
