Structures, C-13 chemical shifts, and the occupation quotients of anti-bonding pi* and bonding pi orbitals of the C C triple bond along a series of push-pull alkynes (p)X-C6H4 C(O)-C C-NH-C6H4-Y(P) (X,Y= H, Me, OMe, NMe2, NO2, COMe, COOMe, F, Cl, Br) were computed at the DFT level (B3LYP/6-311G**) of theory. Both the stereochemistry (cis/trans-isomers) by steric twist and the push-pull character by both C-13 chemical shift differences (Delta delta(C C)) and the occupation quotient (pi(C C)/pi(C C)) were studied; the latter two parameters can be readily employed to precisely quantify the push-pull effect in alkynes.
