Abstract
On the basis of investigation on structural characteristics and stability of more than one hundred nitronic acids and nitronic esters, an equilibrium theory of electronic effects in conjugated systems is put forward and the type of structures is classified. On that basis, an empirical rule for the correlation between structure and stability of nitronic acids and nitronic esters is proposed, which predicts that stable nitronic acids and nitronic esters should have the C type of structure that meets the matching principle of electronic effects.
