Structure of Propyl Cation

Propane, Propene and Their Radical Cations. Part 3: The structure of propyl cation.
This cation can be formed from the propane radical cation by loss of one of the terminal H-atoms as an H-radical. If another H-atom is lost as an H-radical, then the propene radical cation is formed.
