The arenium acid [mesitylene–H]<sup>+</sup> has
been shown
to be an extraordinarily active H/D exchange catalyst for the perdeuteration
of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The reactions take place under
ambient conditions in C<sub>6</sub>D<sub>6</sub> as an inexpensive
deuterium source. High isolated yields and excellent degrees of deuterium
incorporation were achieved using the substrates <i>p</i>-terphenyl, fluoranthene, pyrene, triphenylene, and corannulene.
