Distribution ofπ-electron density and interatomic distances communication 5.π-electron charges of bonds in organic compounds

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Division of chemical science Aims and scope

Summary

  1. 1.

    The lengths of C-H bonds in allene and ethylene and of C-C bonds in ethylene were calculated.

  2. 2.

    The π -electron charges of C-C bonds in anthracene, triphenylene, and ovalene were calculated. A comparison was made with Scherr's calculations.

  3. 3.

    It was shown that, when a nitrogen atom forms a bond with an atom-donor ofπ -electrons, the free pair of electrons almost always passes, wholly or partially, into the bond and increases itsπ -electron charge.

  4. 4.

    A table is given of π -electron charges in organic compounds.

  5. 5.

    A discussion is given of various hypotheses which have been advanced for the explanation of the regularities observed in interatomic distances.
