Questions tagged [stereoelectronics]
For questions where the reactivity/conformation of the molecule is defined/controlled by a specific orbital arrangement/alignment (for example the unusual conformation of sugars because of the anomeric effect). This tag cannot be the only tag on a question. Tags such as [conformation] and [torganic-chemistry] must also be applied.

Rationalising diastereoselectivity of hydroboration using stereoelectronics
Using bulky reagents such as 9-BBN, hydroboration is often highly diastereoselective, giving rise to the 1,2-anti diastereomer:
This is easily explained using a steric argument, with the major ...

Are diffuse functions necessary for modeling unbound conjugated anions?
According to this paper, and contrary to popular belief, diffuse functions are far from being necessary for the calculation of the electron affinities of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon(PAH)s, due ...
