Bridged carbocation

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001500",
  "term": "Bridged carbocation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A carbocation in which a carbon atom bearing a positive charge is stabilized by a neighboring group that forms a partial bond to it, creating a three-center, two-electron bond. This delocalization of positive charge enhances the stability of the carbocation. Such species are often observed in solvolysis reactions.",
