Der ‘Push-Pull’-Effekt von ‘Push-Pull’-Oligoacetylenen. Eine 13C-NMR-Untersuchung

The ‘Push-Poll’ Effect of ‘Push-Pull’ Oligoacetylenes. A ¹³C-NMR Investigation According to ¹³C-chemicaI shifts of ‘push-pull’ oligoacetylenes 1 – 4 , the ‘push-pull’ effect (i.e. π delocalization induced by ‘push-pull’ substituents) rapidly decays in this series. To correct for other than π -charge-density effects, Δδ values of symmetrically placed C-atoms of the oligoacetylene chain are discussed. Stereoelectronic resteffects (SER) of the substituents on terminal C-atoms of PP-ketones 1a – 3a and PP -esters 1b – 4b are estimated from the residual Δδ of the asymptotes of Fig. 3. Fig. 4 convincingly shows that Δδ values are dramatically decreasing with increasing number n of acetylene units between the push and pull substituents. Assignment problems of ‘push-pull’ triacetylenes 3 have been solved by ¹³C labelling of the CO group of 3a .
