Negative hyperconjugation

Negative hyperconjugation
A schematic representation of negative hyperconjugation. In real systems, several of the hydrogens are replaced with other functional groups.

In organic chemistry, negative hyperconjugation is the donation of electron density from a filled π- or p-orbital to a neighboring σ*-orbital.[1] This phenomenon, a type of resonance, can stabilize the molecule or transition state.[2] It also causes an elongation of the σ-bond by adding electron density to its antibonding orbital.[3]

Negative hyperconjugation is most commonly observed when the σ*-orbital is located on certain C-F or C-O bonds,[4][5] and does not occur to an appreciable extent with normal C-H bonds.

In negative hyperconjugation, the electron density flows in the opposite direction (from π- or p-orbital to empty σ*-orbital) than it does in the more common hyperconjugation (from σ-orbital to empty p-orbital).
