Abstract
The electronic effects of the halogen-substituted methyl groups, CHnX3-n, where X is F, Cl, Br or I, have been examined by 13C n.m.r, spectroscopy in a series of α-halogen-substituted toluenes. The substituent chemical shifts of all carbon atoms, as well as the σI and σR0 substituent parameters derived from a dual substituent parameter (DSP) analysis, are examined in terms of hyperconjugative and π-inductive substituent effects. Bulky CHnX3-n substituents cause molecular deformations of the benzene ring, consequently invalidating the derivation of substituent parameters from a DSP analysis.
