Notes:
Structures of 14 kinds of benzylic cations into which are introduced various substituents at benzylic position were optimized by means of the ab initio molecular orbital method at the RHF/6-31G* level. The theoretical indices obtained associated with the resonance interaction, such as population, bond order and bond length, were compared with the resonance demand parameter (r value) of corresponding solvolysis systems that were given by the Yukawa-Tsuno substituent effect analysis. The r value was linearly correlated with the theoretical resonance indices.
