Electromeric effect refers to a molecular polarizability effect occurring by an intramolecular electron displacement (sometimes called the `conjugative mechanism` and, previously, the `tautomeric mechanism`) characterized by the substitution of one electron pair for another within the same atomic octet of electrons.
