Anomeric effects at carbon involving lone pairs originating from one or two nitrogens.

Friday, July 8th, 2016

The previous post looked at anomeric effects set up on centres such as B, Si or P, and involving two oxygen groups attached to these atoms. Here I vary the attached groups to include either one or two nitrogen atoms.[1]

Anomeric effects at boron, silicon and phosphorus.

Friday, July 1st, 2016

The anomeric effect occurs at 4-coordinate (sp3) carbon centres carrying two oxygen substituents and involves an alignment of a lone electron pair on one oxygen with the adjacent C-O σ*-bond of the other oxygen. Here I explore whether other centres can exhibit the phenomenon. I start with 4-coordinate boron, using the crystal structure search definition below (along with R < 0.1, no disorder, no errors).[1]anomeric-bo-sq
