What is "homoconjugation"

n. (context organic chemistry English) A form of conjugation in which a non-conjugating atom or group is interposed between the conjugating bonds

In chemistry, homoconjugation has two unrelated meanings:

• In acid–base chemistry, homoconjugation is an alternate name for the phenomenon of homoassociation.
• In organic chemistry, homoconjugation is a type of conjugated system where two π-systems are separated by one non-conjugating group. See Conjugated system#Mechanism.
