Amides dimerise more strongly than imides despite their lower acidity. Such an unexpected result has been rationalised in terms of the Jorgensen Secondary Interactions Hypothesis (JSIH) that involves the spectator (C[double bond, length as m-dash]O<sub>S</sub>) and H-bonded (C[double bond, length as m-dash]O<sub>HB</sub>) carbonyl groups in imides. Notwithstanding the considerable body of experimental and theoretical evidence supporting the JSIH, there are some computational studies which sugges ...[more]
