Knox's halide didn't, and Bartlett postulated that carbonium ions, with only six electrons around the central carbon, are not stable unless they are essentially planar, and of course the bicyclic ion, were it to exist, would be constrained to a quite different, non-planar geometry. A few years later, he and Saul Cohen confirmed Knox's finding, and extended it, by synthesizing triptycene, and (with E
