Buttressing effects are indirect steric effects which may occur when a bulky substituent is adjacent to a group directly involved in steric interactions. 1 The introduction of a potentially buttressing substituent may affect chemical reactivity, equilibria, and/or rotational barriers by hindering modes of steric relief (such as the widening of bond angles) which are available in the unsubstituted molecule for the sterically crowded group. In the case of rotational processes, buttressing effects usually result in an increased barrier (a “normal” buttressing effect), but when the ground state is the one mostly affected, a lower rotational barrier results (an “inverse buttressing ef-fect”). 2 We have recently studied buttressing effects on di-and triaryl doubly bondedsystems. 3 For systems 1, the introduction of four m-Br or m-Me groups resulted in minor effects on the ground-state geometry and in moderate effects on the two observed rotational processes. The barrier for the one-ring flip process increased with the introduction of the meta substituents, while the barrier for the two-ring flip decreased. 3b
