Abstract

Steric, electrostatic and hyperconjugative effects were evaluated in the natural bond orbital framework as candidate sources of the preferred geometry of hydroperoxides. Stabilising 1,2-H delta+-O delta- electrostatic interactions and n(O) -> sigma{*}(OR) hyperconjugative interactions were found to be the driving force for the preferred anticlinal or perpendicular geometries, respectively. There is an interesting interplay between these two effects: when one increases, the other decreases. On the other hand, steric effects showed negligible contributions to the conformational behaviour of the studied molecules. Also, HO-OR bond dissociation energy appeared to be dependent on RO radical stability, which is governed by hyperconjugation. (AU)
