The inductive and resonance effects of the pentafluoroethyl, nonafluoro-n-butyl, and heptafluoroisopropyl groups determined from pKa measurements on benzoic acids and anilines are similar to those of a trifluoromethyl group. These results are discussed in terms of fluoride ion hyperconjugation and-inductive effect, and a new explanation is proposed for the+ R character of the fluoroalkyl groups. The interaction of p-electrons of the fluorines with the-system of the aromatic ring causes significant return of electron density to the ring, partly counteracting the normal strong inductive withdrawal. This effect is more important at the meta than the para position so that the para position appears more strongly deactivated. This hypothesis is strongly supported by a discussion of-parameters for other fluorinated groups, such as C (OH)(CF3) 2, N (CFj) 2, and SFs, and a new approach to interpretation of F19 chemical shift correlations with substituent parameters for benzotrifluorides and arylsulfur pentafluorides.The strongly deactivating effect of the trifluoromethyl group is well recognized. Quantitative measurements have shown that this effect can be mainly attributed to an inductive withdrawal, but in aromatic systems a sig-nificant enhancementby a conjugative contribution (+ R character) is also found. 2 Mutual interactions of the nitro or cyano type are not possible, and two other mechanisms have been proposed to explain the+ R
