The '''triphenylmethyl radical''' (often shortened to '''trityl radical''' after 1927 suggestion by ] et al.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Helferich |first=B. |last2=Bredereck |first2=H. |last3=Schneidmüller |first3=A. |date=1927 |title=Acylwanderung an partiell acylierten Methyl‐glucosiden |url=https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jlac.19274580108 |journal=Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie |language=de |volume=458 |issue=1 |pages=111–116 |doi=10.1002/jlac.19274580108 |issn=0075-4617}}</ref>) is an ] with the formula (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub>C.

== Preparation and properties ==
The triphenylmethyl radical can be prepared by ] of ] '''1''' by a metal like ] or ] in ] or ]. The radical '''2''' forms a ] with the ]-type ] '''3''' (]). In benzene the concentration of the radical is 2%.<ref>{{March6th}} </ref>

]

Solutions containing the radical are ]; when the temperature of the solution is raised, the yellow color becomes more intense as the equilibrium is shifted in favor of the radical rather than the colorless dimer, in accordance with ].

The triphenylmethyl radical exhibits green ]. Further reaction of the quinoid dimer with another triphenylmethyl radical produces a quinoid radical that exhibits red photoluminescence.<ref name="Red photoluminescence">{{cite journal |doi=10.1070/MC2000v010n01ABEH001115 |title=Red photoluminescence in the synthesis of triphenylmethyl radicals by the Gomberg method |date=2000 |last1=Bulgakov |first1=Ramil G. |last2=Kuleshov |first2=Sergei P. |last3=Valiullina |first3=Zemfira S. |journal=Mendeleev Communications |volume=10 |pages=22–23 }}</ref>

When exposed to air, the radical rapidly oxidizes to the ], and the color of the solution changes from yellow to colorless. Likewise, the radical reacts with ] to triphenylmethyl iodide.

While the triphenyl radical itself forms a quinoid dimer, derivatives of the triphenyl radical with certain ] phenyl groups do form dimers with a ]-like structure. For example, the tris(3,5-di-''tert''-butylphenyl) radical dimerizes to give hexakis(3,5-di-''t''-butylphenyl)ethane, with a ] of 1.67&nbsp;Å for the central carbon–carbon bond. Theoretical calculations on a very high level of theory indicate that ] between the ] groups create a potential minimum that is absent in the unsubstituted molecule.<ref>{{Citation|last=Lewars|first=Errol|title=Modeling Marvels|year=2008|chapter=8.
