The ionization constants of p-nitrophenylacetic and phenylmalonic acids have been determined from conductivity data. The value of K for p-nitrophenylacetic acid at 25 °C. is 1.04 × 10−4, about twice that of phenylacetic acid. The nitro group in the nucleus has not as powerful an effect on the ionization when the COOH group is in the side chain as it has when both nitro group and COOH are in the nucleus. K for p-nitrobenzoic acid is six times as great as K for benzoic acid. K for phenylmalonic acid is 2. 77 × 10−3 as compared with 1.6 × 10−3 for malonic acid.

The ionization constants of benzoic acid and of four esters of p-aminobenzoic acid, as well as the two ionization constants of p-aminobenzoic acid itself, have been deter- mined by spectrophotometric measurements. The extent of zwitterion formation in p-aminobenzoic acid is discussed.

The ionization constants of benzoic acid and of three mononitrobenzoic acids, at 25� in formamide, have been determined from the measurements of the electro-motive forces of the cells Pt,H2/HA(m1),KA(m2)KCl(m3)AgCl-Ag The values of the ionization constants for benzoic acid, o-nitrobenzoic acid, m-nitro-benzoio acid, and p-nitrobenzoic acid thus calculated from e.m.f. data are 4.37 x 10-7, 3.89 x 10-5, 3.98 x 10-6 and 1.32 x 10-6, respectively. These values are smaller than those in water, and are in agreement with a general behaviour exhibited by weak acids in solvents of this class.

We have made both ampoule and titration calorimetric measurements leading to ΔH0 of ionization of aqueous benzoic acid at 298 K, and have considered our results in relation to those from several earlier investigations in an effort to select the "best" value for this important quantity. We have also made calorimetric measurements leading to ΔH0 values for ionization of several substituted benzoic acids, and have selected "best" ΔH0 values for 15 meta- and para-substituted benzoic acids. It is found that there are good linear relationships between ΔG0, ΔH0, and ΔS0 values for most of these substituted benzoic acids. It is also found that the Hammett equation accounts well for ionization constants over the temperature range 278–318 K for all of these acids and accounts very well for ionization constants of those acids with positive σ substituent parameters.

An optical waveguide consists of a several-micron wide channel with a slightly different index of refraction than the host substrate; light can be trapped in the channel by total internal reflection.Optical waveguides can be formed from single-crystal LiNbO3 using the proton exhange technique. In this technique, polished specimens are masked with polycrystal1ine chromium in such a way as to leave 3-13 μm wide channels. These are held in benzoic acid at 249°C for 5 minutes allowing protons to exchange for lithium ions within the channels causing an increase in the refractive index of the channel and creating the waveguide. Unfortunately, optical measurements often reveal a loss in waveguiding ability up to several weeks after exchange.
