Helsinki-3 Direct Estimate of Conjugation, Hyperconjugation and Aromaticity With an Energy Decomposition Analysis Gernot Frenking Fachbereich Chemie, Philipps-Universität Marburg
“Conjugated compounds are usually more stable than bond-shifted isomers in which the double (triple) bonds are isolated from each other by more than on single one bond” (b) conjugated double bonds (a) isolated double bonds Conjugation What is conjugation? IUPAC Definition: “In a topological sense, the indication that each pair of multiple (double or triple) bonds in a polyunsaturated molecule is separated by one single bond.” Pure Appl. Chem. 1999, 71, 1919. b-carotene, the red pigment in carrots and other vegetables
Conjugation • Geometry • Reactivity • Properties Short C–C distance: 1.453 Å
Hyperconjugation What is hyperconjugation? It is the interaction between orbitals having p symmetry where at least one of the p orbitals is located at an atom that does not have a multiple bond p π* (sat) π*←π(sat) π(sat) π* (sat) π(sat)←π* (sat)

Conjugation and Hyperconjugation CONCLUSIONS • The calculated DEp values taken from the EDA can be used to estimate the strength of the relative contributions of p interactions that come from conjugation/hyperconjugation • The EDA method has a predictive value. The trend of the calculated DEp values is in very good agreement with NMR chemical shifts and experimentally derived Hammett constants. • The comparison of DEp values of cyclic system with a suitable reference compound makes it possible to estimate the stabilization due to aromaticity. • Bond energies and lengths should not be used as indicators of the strength of hyperconjugation because the effect of s interactions and electrostatic forces may compensate for the hyperconjugative effect.
