Attractive steric interactions within molecules. The masking of effects in meta-disubstituted benzenes by buttressed repulsive interactions

Abstract
The attractive steric interaction between the groups in a sidechain to a benzene ring and a meta-substituent is usually more than offset by the repulsive interaction of the sidechain with the ortho-hydrogen atom which is buttressed by the meta-substituent.
