Abstract: Eleven α-V (or Ⅵ)-group cation-substituted toluenes (1) and acetophenones (2)were synthesized.The equilibrium acidities (PKa) of these compounds were determined indimethyl sulfoxide solution by the "Overlapping Indicator Method" and the homolytic C-Hbond dissociation energies (BDE) were derived from a thermodynamic cycle combining PKawith oxidation potential of carbanion.The effects of the a-positively charged groups on thethermodynamic stabilities of sixteen Ylide carbanions and the corresponding Ylide-like radi-cals and the remote structral effect have been discussed.

Key words: PKa, Homolytic bond dissociation energy, Thermodynamic stability, Ylide, Radical
