James Worman Via a literature search it has been shown, by means of the ira spectra of thioamides, the dipole moments of thiocarbonyl compounds , the basicity of thioamides and thioureas, the acidity of carboxylic acids carrying a substituent with the thiocarbonyl function, LCAO-b method, and proton· chemical shifts, that the thiocarbonyl group me has tendency to give a greater mesomeric interaction than the (�) carbonyla group (£) with electron donating heteroatoms.
