Abstract
Ab initio calculations on norbornenyl derivatives indicate that steric inte ractions between bridgehead and exo-6-chlorine substituents result in a dim inished C6-C1-C2 valence angle. Computational and spectral data are present ed which indicate that this diminution leads to enhanced through-space orbi tal coupling. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
