The interpretation of the distortions of the electron distribution in [2,2]cyclophanes (22-CPs) is controversial. Some studies indicate that there is an accumulation of electron density (ρ) outside the cavity of 22-CPs. The nature of through-space (ts) interaction is still under debate. The relative importance of ts and through-bond (tb) is an open question. In an attempt to clarify these points, we have investigated five 22-CPs and their corresponding toluene dimers by molecular orbitals analysis, electron density difference analysis, some topological analysis of ρ (quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), electron localization function (ELF) and noncovalent interactions (NCI)), and energy decomposition analysis with natural orbitals for chemical valence (EDA-NOCV). ρ is concentrated inside the inter-ring region. All the analyses indicated that ts is predominant. The ts is composed by attractive dispersion and Pauli repulsion, with a small covalent contribution. Except for 1 and 6, all the compounds present inter-ring bond paths.

Fifteen cyclic and acylic carbenes have been calculated with density functional theory at the BP86/def2-TZVPP level. The strength of the internal X→p(π) π-donation of heteroatoms and carbon which are bonded to the C(II) atom is estimated with the help of NBO calculations and with an energy decomposition analysis. The investigated molecules include N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), the cyclic alkyl(amino)carbene (cAAC), mesoionic carbenes and ylide-stabilized carbenes. The bonding analysis suggests that the carbene centre in cAAC and in diamidocarbene have the weakest X→p(π) π-donation while mesoionic carbenes possess the strongest π-donation.
