Homoconjugation

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005355",
  "term": "Homoconjugation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The interaction between a pi-electron system and an isolated double bond or aromatic ring through space, rather than through direct sigma bond overlap. This interaction results in delocalization of electrons across non-adjacent centers. It is observed in certain cyclic and polycyclic compounds, influencing their stability and reactivity.",
  "subject": "Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry",
