Hyperconjugation
Abstract
This review outlines the ubiquitous nature of hyperconjugative interactions and their role in the structure and reactivity of organic molecules. After defining the common hyperconjugative patterns, we discuss the main factors controlling the magnitude of hyperconjugative effects, including orbital symmetry, energy gap, electronegativity, and polarizibility. The danger of underestimating the magnitude of hyperconjugative interactions are illustrated by a number of spectroscopic, conformational, and structural effects. Through the use of advanced computational techniques, the true role of hyperconjugative effects, as it pertains to their influence on stereoelectronics, conformational equilibria, and reactivities relative to other electronic effects, continue to be uncovered. © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.WIREs Comput Mol Sci 2011 1 109–141 DOI: 10.1002/wcms.6 This article is categorized under:Structure and Mechanism > Molecular Structures

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
