homoconjugation 

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.H02842
  1. [obsolete] @A00472@ between a base and its conjugate acid through a @H02899@ (B … HB+ or AH … A−). Homoassociation is a more appropriate term for this phenomenon.
  2. The orbital overlap of two π-systems separated by a non-conjugating group, such as CH2.
