Infrared intensities as a quantitative measure of intramolecular interactions. Part XXVII. Substituents with donor–acceptor character: the NSO group
Abstract
It is shown that the NSO group has little resonance interaction with a benzene ring in the ground state but that it is capable of resonance donation or acceptance in the presence of a second substituent, depending on the electron demand. This variable interaction is compared with that of related groups.
