Abstract

An empirical linear correlation exists between nuclear quadrupole resonance frequencies of halogen nuclei (^35^Cl, ^79^Br, ^127^I) and the polarographic reduction potentials in series of organic halides. In terms of electronic structure this is interpreted as a significant relationship between the average p‐electron population at halogen atoms and the first vacant molecular orbital of halogenated molecules. On the basis of the present correlations conclusions are drawn about some controversial mechanistic aspects of the electroreduction of the carbon‐halogen bond.
