unsolved chemistry problem: Solvolysis of the norbornyl cation
« on: May 22, 2014, 02:53:49 AM »
I know this chemistry problem is under current research, and hasn't been determined/ solved, but I'd like to hear your answer and why.

Why is the norbornyl cation so stable? Is it symmetrical? If so, why? This problem has been largely settled for the unsubstituted norbornyl cation, but not for the substituted cation.
