  2. Clar's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clar's_rule

    Clar's rule states that for a benzenoid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (i.e. one with only hexagonal rings), the resonance structure with the largest number of disjoint aromatic π-sextets is the most important to characterize its chemical and physical properties. Such a resonance structure is called a Clar structure. In other words, a ...

  3. Resonance (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance_(chemistry)

    Contributing structures of the carbonate ion. In chemistry, resonance, also called mesomerism, is a way of describing bonding in certain molecules or polyatomic ions by the combination of several contributing structures (or forms, [1] also variously known as resonance structures or canonical structures) into a resonance hybrid (or hybrid structure) in valence bond theory.

  4. Mesomeric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesomeric_effect

    In chemistry, the mesomeric effect (or resonance effect) is a property of substituents or functional groups in a chemical compound.It is defined as the polarity produced in the molecule by the interaction of two pi bonds or between a pi bond and lone pair of electrons present on an adjacent atom. [1]

  5. Hyperconjugation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperconjugation

    In organic chemistry, hyperconjugation (σ-conjugation or no-bond resonance) refers to the delocalization of electrons with the participation of bonds of primarily σ-character. Usually, hyperconjugation involves the interaction of the electrons in a sigma (σ) orbital (e.g. C–H or C–C) with an adjacent unpopulated non-bonding p or ...

  6. Diazo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diazo

    Diazo compounds have two main Lewis structures in resonance: R 2 >C-–N + ≡N and R 2 >CH=N + =N-. In organic chemistry, the diazo group is an organic moiety consisting of two linked nitrogen atoms at the terminal position.

  7. Electrophilic aromatic directing groups - Wikipedia

    On the other hand, the nitrobenzene resonance structures have positive charges around the ring system: The nitro group can withdraw electron density through resonance. Attack occurs at the meta position, since the (partial) formal positive charges at the ortho and para positions indicate electron deficiency at these positions.

  8. 1,3-dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,3-dipole

    A demonstration that how some well known 1,3-dipoles like ozone, nitro compounds and azides can be shown to have a resonance structure having 1,3 relationship between positive and negative formal charges. Known 1,3-dipoles are: Azides (RN 3) Ozone (O 3) Nitro compounds (RNO 2) Diazo compounds (R 2 CN 2) Some oxides. Azoxide compounds (RN(O)NR)

  9. Dithiocarbamate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dithiocarbamate

    In organic chemistry, a dithiocarbamate is a functional group with the general formula R 2 N−C(=S)−S−R and structure >N−C(=S)−S−. It is the analog of a carbamate in which both oxygen atoms are replaced by sulfur atoms (when only one oxygen is replaced the result is thiocarbamate ).
