Abstract
The geometry, charge distribution and dipole moments of parent sulfonium ylide - dimethylsulfoniomethylide (I) - and a series of stabilized sulfonium ylides, including 2-dimethylsulfuranylidene-1,3-cyclopentanedione (VI) prepared in this study, was investigated using the CNDO/2, PCILO and ab initio methods. Values of dipole moments, calculated by quantum chemical methods (CNDO/2 with sp and spd bases, ab initio with the STO-3G basis) as well as by the method of empirical bond moments, are compared with the experimental values determined in dioxane or benzene. Dipole moments of several related ammonium ylides were also studied.
