An. Egorochkin et al., INTENSITY OF BANDS OF THE C-C STRETCHING MODES IN THE IR-SPECTRA AND CONJUGATION IN SILYLACETYLENES, Russian chemical bulletin, 46(1), 1997, pp. 71-75
A comparative study of the integrated extinction coefficients (A) of t
he C=C stretching bands in the LR spectra of acetylene derivatives Me3
SiC=CR, HC=CR. and Me3CC=CR was carried out. The resonance interaction
s of substituents with a triple bond are the main cause of the changes
in the values of A. The total resonance effect of the Me3Si fragment
involves both acceptor (d,pi-conjugation) and donor (sigma,pi-conjugat
ion) components; d,pi-conjugation dominates in the silylacetylenes stu
died. The sigma(R)(0) resonance constant of the Me3Si substituent in c
ompounds Me3SiC=CR is 0.17+/-0.02.
