Dipole Moments and Structure of the Sydnones

Abstract

The letter by W. Baker and W. D. Ollis1 concerning the structure of the sydnones, for example, N-phenyl-sydnone (I)2, led to a joint programme of work being undertaken at Bristol and Oxford. As J. C. Earl and R. J. W. Le Fèvre kindly informed us that they had also been engaged upon a similar task and have given us their results, which are in large measure complementary to ours, it seems opportune to record our findings.
