	Mesomeric effect Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The mesomeric effect or resonance effect in chemistry is a property of substituents or functional groups in a chemical compound.
		The effect is used in a qualitative way and describes the electron withdrawing or releasing properties of substituents based on relevant resonance structures and is symbolized by the letter M.
		It's important to note that the mesomeric effect as a result of p - orbital overlap (resonance) has absolutely no effect on this inductive effect, as this effect is purely to do with the electronegativity of the atoms and their structural chemistry (which atoms are connected to which).

	Mesomeric effect
		The Mesomeric effect is the effect of the overlap of a p-orbital with the p-orbital on an adjacent atom in the chemical compound to form a delocalised cloud of electrons over both the atoms called a π (pi) bond.
		The effect is symbolized by M. The mesomeric effect of delocalised electrons occurs in unsaturated organic compounds, where the double bond is separated by a single bond.
		It's important to note that the mesomeric affect as a result of p - orbital overlap has absolutely no affect on the inductive effect, as this effect is purely to do with the electronegativity of the atoms and their structural chemistry (which atoms are connected to which).

	M
		The effect (on reaction rates, ionization equilibria, etc.) attributed to a substituent due to overlap of its p or pi orbitals with the p or pi orbitals of the rest of the molecular entity.
		The effect is symbolized by M. Strictly understood, the mesomeric effect operates in the ground electronic state of the molecule.
		It is particularly useful to discuss structural effects on the transition state geometry for processes occurring either by stepwise or concerted routes.

	Electron Availability - Mesomeric Effects
		A mesomeric effect is an electron redistribution that occurs via a pi orbital, quite often via conjugated systems.
		There is an inductive effect (indicated by the arrow) in the "real" structure, but it is smaller than the mesomeric effect.
		Mesomeric (and inductive) effects are permanent effects that are present in the ground state of the molecule.

	Inductive effect at AllExperts
		The Inductive effect in chemistry is an experimentally observable effect of the transmission of charge through a chain of atoms in a molecule by electrostatic induction (IUPAC definition).
		The net polar effect exerted by a substituent is a combination of this inductive effect and the mesomeric effect.
		The inductive effect is permanent but feeble, as it involves the shift of strongly held Ï-bond electrons, and other stronger factors may overshadow this effect.

		The effect is symbolized by M. The mesomeric effect of delocalised electrons occurs in unsaturated organic compounds, where the double bond is separated by a single bond.
		Additionally, the effect of delocalising the electrons and therefore the charge, will reduce the probability of the anion (anion: A negatively charged ion) being reprotonated as it is now a "soft nucleophile" (disperse charge) compared to the "hard electrophile" of the proton (small localised charge).

	Wikipedia: Phenol
		Phenol has antiseptic properties, and was used by Sir Joseph Lister in his pioneering technique of antiseptic surgery, though the skin irritation caused by continual exposure to phenol eventually lead to the substitution of aseptic (germ-free) techniques in surgery.
		Exposure of the skin to concentrated phenol solutions causes chemical burns; in laboratories where it is used, it is usually recommended that polyethylene glycol solution is kept available for washing off splashes.
		Notwithstanding the effects of concentrated solutions, it is also used in cosmetic surgery as an exfoliant, to remove layers of dead skin.

		For a reactant molecule RY, the polar effect of the group R comprises all the processes whereby a substituent may modify the electrostatic forces operating at the reaction centre Y, relative to the standard RoY.
		Sometimes, however, the term "polar effect" is taken to refer to the influence, other than steric, that non-conjugated substituents exert on reaction rates, i.e.
		effects connected with electron delocalization between a substituent and the molecular framework to which it is attached are excluded.

	Help needed with Aryl Carbocation stability and Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution Text - Physics Forums Library
		So I need you to tell me why mesomeric effect doesn't occur when an resonance-based electron donating group is meta with respect to a group G? In this case, I think the benzylic group is strongly electron withdrawing (inductively) as it has a positive charge on it.
		I do not know what my teacher thinks of the meta directing effect, but all that he has told us is that the stabilizing effect of a +M group due to +M effect is zero when the group is meta with respect to a group G already present.
		Let me write what I've found during studying with a student; inductive effect is a matter of electronegativity of the atom attaching the benzene ring, where mesomeric effect is determined as the lone electron pair contribution of this group.

		Electronic effects due to the substitution are found not to increase significantly, and often to decrease, the calculated coupling, since they involve mainly p orbitals, while the coupling is mainly transmitted through s orbitals.
		It is useful, at this point, to recall some qualitative considerations on the effect of substituents on the energetics of the CH/p dimers [5].
		However, we should recall that the FC contribution is transmitted by s-type orbitals, since it requires the probability, and therefore the wave function of the electron, to be non-zero at the nucleus.

	Synthesis of fluorocarbon compounds
		The present invention relates to the synthesis of hydrocarbon compounds which are fluorinated on a carbon atom of an "alkyl" moiety thereof via exchange between a halogen atom having an atomic number greater than fluorine, employing a fluorine-containing reactant which is at least partially in the form of a complex salt.
		Thus, the exchange reactions are essentially successive (in effect, each additional fluorine atom on the halophoric carbon slows the exchange of halogen atoms heavier than fluorine with the latter), thereby making it possible to carry out a selective or complete exchange, by varying the operating conditions and the choice of reactants.
		When R.sub.5 is electron-withdrawing, especially via mesomeric effect, it should be appreciated that the exchange is more difficult, especially for the third fluorine atom on the same carbon.
