Gomberg was able to distinguish this compound from ] (] was not an option given the small differences in the hydrogen fractions of 6.29% and 6.60%) by ] of '''5''' with ] to '''6'''. Gomberg was able to distinguish this compound from ] (] was not an option given the small differences in the hydrogen fractions of 6.29% and 6.60%) by ] of '''5''' with ] to '''6'''. A strong ] would be able to abstract the methine proton of the nitrated triphenylmethyl compound if present, forming a strongly colored compound.


He obtained further evidence for the formation of tetraphenylmethane by reducing the nitro groups to ] groups with ] dust in ] to the ] '''7''', which on exposure to ] eliminates ] to the known compound ] '''8'''.
