The proton transfer equilibrium constants (KPT) for 1 : 1 complex formation between Chloranilic Acid (CA) and a series ofp- andm‒substituted anilines have been measured in 1,4-dioxane spectrophotometrically. The results supported the concept of amine-solvent hydrogen bond formation (short range solvation effect). Beside, this effect, theKPTvalues were apparently affected by the electron donation power of the aniline ring substituent, which was transmitted to the interaction center via resonance and inductive effects. Linear relationships betweenKPTand σ-Hammett substituent constants, or pKvalues formandpanilines,were obtained verifying the above conclusions. The solute-solvent hydrogen bond formation might increase the reactivity of the aniline nitrogen than would the inductive effect of the alkyl group, in case of CA-N-alkyl aniline complexes. The thermodynamic parameters for the proton transfer complex formation were estimated and it was indicated that the solvent–aniline hydrogen bond formation was preferred in the case ofp-substituted aniline complexes more than in the case of the correspondingm‒isomer. It has been found that the proton transfer process was enthalpy and entropy controlled.
