Abstract
Ab initio calculations on norbornenyl derivatives indicate that steric interactions between bridgehead and exo-6-chlorine substituents result in a diminished C6-C1-C2 valence angle. Computational and spectral data are presented which indicate that this diminution leads to enhanced through-space orbital coupling.
