Introduction to Co-Oridnation Compound

Which effect stabilizes carbocation more, hyperconjugation or mesomeric?



Mesomeric has higher stability compare to hyperconjugation and inductive effect.

Mesomeric effect accounts for the resonance stabilization of the molecule due to delocalization of charge. For carbocation stabilization (+m) effect is required. Means electron donating should be more.
