Push–Pull Effect on the Gas-Phase Basicity of Nitriles: Transmission of the Resonance Effects by Methylenecyclopropene and Cyclopropenimine π-Systems Substituted by Two Identical Strong Electron Donors
The gas-phase basicity of nitriles can be enhanced by a push–pull effect. The role of the intercalated scaffold between the pushing group (electron-donor) and the pulling (electron-acceptor) nitrile group is crucial in the basicity enhancement, simultaneously having a transmission function and an in...
