  2. Baker–Nathan effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker–Nathan_effect

    Other researchers have found similar results or very different results. An alternative explanation for the effect is differential solvation as orders invert on going from the solution phase to the gas phase. [5] Today, the conjugation of neighbouring pi orbitals and polarised sigma bonds is known as hyperconjugation.

  3. Pi bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_bond

    A typical triple bond, for example in acetylene (HC≡CH), consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds in two mutually perpendicular planes containing the bond axis. Two pi bonds are the maximum that can exist between a given pair of atoms. Quadruple bonds are extremely rare and can be formed only between transition metal atoms, and consist of ...

  4. Neighbouring group participation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbouring_group...

    In organic chemistry, neighbouring group participation (NGP, also known as anchimeric assistance) has been defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) as the interaction of a reaction centre with a lone pair of electrons in an atom or the electrons present in a sigma or pi bond contained within the parent molecule but not conjugated with the reaction centre.

    [2] [3] [4] The ring-flip of substituted cyclohexanes constitutes a common form of conformers. [5] The study of the energetics of bond rotation is referred to as conformational analysis. [6] In some cases, conformational analysis can be used to predict and explain product selectivity, mechanisms, and rates of reactions. [7]

  6. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    The attractive force draws molecules closer together and gives a real gas a tendency to occupy a smaller volume than an ideal gas. Which interaction is more important depends on temperature and pressure (see compressibility factor). In a gas, the distances between molecules are generally large, so intermolecular forces have only a small effect.

  7. Electrocyclic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocyclic_reaction

    The increased reaction rate for the trimethylsilyl compound can be explained by silicon hyperconjugation as the βC-Si bond weakens the cyclobutane C-C bond by donating electrons. Scheme 2. benzocyclobutane ring opening. A biomimetic electrocyclic cascade reaction was discovered in relation to the isolation and synthesis of certain endiandric ...

  8. Pi-interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi-interaction

    In chemistry, π-effects or π-interactions are a type of non-covalent interaction that involves π systems.Just like in an electrostatic interaction where a region of negative charge interacts with a positive charge, the electron-rich π system can interact with a metal (cationic or neutral), an anion, another molecule and even another π system. [1]

  9. Cation–π interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cation–π_interaction

    Similar to these other non-covalent bonds, cation–π interactions play an important role in nature, particularly in protein structure, molecular recognition and enzyme catalysis. The effect has also been observed and put to use in synthetic systems. [1] [2] The π system above and below the benzene ring leads to a quadrupole charge distribution.
