Plz explain structure of dication of cyclooctatetraene from here only the dication the dication se neutral species only fewer

466 with neutral compound is tub-shaped Ciayaen ofg..l p Drawing the dication The dication still has the same number of atoms as the neutral Species only fewer electons. Where have the electrons been taken from? The T System now has two electrons less. We could draw a structure showing two localized positive charges but this would not be ideal since the charge is spread over the whole ring systenm Convert to Microsoft Word (.doc 1e cnarges can be delocalized round the e suruciure t0 show equvalence Ot all ihe carnon atoms Document Language English (U.S) Chang

    Here,In dication it has same number of atoms but has fewer electrons i.e. 2 electrons lesser than neutral compound. Now the two positive charge is delocalised all over the ring. So you just draw like resonating structures of COT dications.
