Abstract

The intrinsic strength of the conjugation and hyperconjugation in 1,3‐butadiene, 1,3‐butadiyne, and related compounds was determined by energy decomposition analysis. The calculations indicate that the π conjugation in 1,3‐butadiyne is roughly twice as strong as that in 1,3‐butadiene, and that the hyperconjugative interactions of CH and CC bonds with CC multiple bonds are about half as strong as the π conjugation between multiple bonds.
