==Structure and Properties==
The ] group can exist in three oxidation states: trityl cation, trityl, and trityl anion. The trityl cation is the form present in triphenylmethyl hexafluorophosphate. The triphenylmethyl cation effectively has D3h ].

Triphenylmethyl hexafluorophosphate combined with water in basic conditions undergo hydrolysis to form ] and the conjugate acid hexafluorophosphoric acid. When acidic conditions are present, the reaction will proceed in the opposite direction and triphenyl methanol will form triphenylmethyl hexafluorophosphate and water.


Triphenylmethyl hexafluorophosphate has been used for abstracting ] ({{chem|H|-}}) from organic compounds. Treatment of ] and diene complexes one can generate ] and ]es, respectively.<ref name=Urch/>
==Main Reactions==
Triphenylmethyl hexafluorophosphate is used in hydride and alkoxy abstractions. For example, it has been used for abstracting hydride from transition metal alkene and diene complexes. For example, triphenylmethyl hexafluorophosphate can also ionize an alkoxy substituted and cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl complexes.<ref name=Urch/> Some examples are:


] is a common substitute for triphenylmethyl hexafluorophosphate. However, the perchlorate is not used as widely, because, like other organic perchlorates, it is potentially explosive.<ref name=Urch/>

==References==
Triphenylmethyl perchlorate is a common substitute for triphenylmethyl hexafluorophosphate. However, perchlorate is not used as widely because it is an oxidizer with Cl having and ] of +7. Perchlorate readily combusts releasing Cl<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> gas which is potentially explosive. Both triphenylmethyl hexafluorophosphate and triphenylmethyl perchlorate have shown similar results and yields in most reactions.<ref name=Urch/>
