By careful selection of "angular' substituents it is possible to induce sizeable deformations of benzene ring structures, which correspond to bond length alternation. Ab initio calculations are used to explore the range of this effect in 1,3,5-trisubstituted benzenes with 14 different substituents (

β¦ Synopsis
It is shown that an angular group -XY attached to the benzene ring causes bond length alternation within tile ring. This angular-group-induced bond alternation (AGIBA) effect is studied in several mono-substituted benzene derivatives by means of the ab initio calculations. Different alternation patterns are found for angular groups of the -X-Y and -X=Y t)2aes. The origin of the AGIBA effect is traced to a competing i~dluence of through-space-~-electron interactions and a rehybridization effect at the substituted carbon atom. The AGIBA effect is shown to be strongly conformation dependent.
