C. Laurence et al., SUBSTITUENT EFFECTS IN IR SPECTROSCOPY .12. FIELD EFFECTS OF 4-SUBSTITUENTS ON THE CYCLOPROPYL NU(CH) VIBRATOR OF TRICYCLENES, Spectrochimica acta. Part A: Molecular spectroscopy, 49(8), 1993, pp. 1105-1108
The variation of the equivalent C2-H and C6-H force constants of 4X-su
bstituted tricyclenes depends mainly on the electrostatic forces exert
ed by the C4-X dipole. The sensitivity of the cyclopropanic bonds to e
lectronic substituent effects in these tricyclenes is compared to the
substituent dependence of nu(CH) in other systems.
