We consider a chain described by a next-nearest-neighbor hopping combined with a nearest-neighbor spin flip. In two dimensions this three-body term arises from a mapping of the three-band Hubbard model for CuO{sub 2} planes to a generalized {ital t}-{ital J} model and for large O-O hopping favors resonance-valence-bond superconductivity of predominantly {ital d}-wave symmetry. Solving the ground-state and low-energy excitations by analytical and numerical methods we find that the chain is a Luther-Emery liquid with correlation exponent {ital K}{sub {rho}}=(2{minus}{ital n}){sup 2}/2, where {ital n} is the particle density.
