Potentiometric titration has been used to measure dissociation constants of 13 monosubstituted benzoic acids in nitromethane, benzonitrile , acetonitrile , propylene carbonate, acetone, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, methanol and formamide. The reaction constants of the Hammett equation were found to depend on the solvent acidity and basicity expressed by the α and β parameters of Kamlet and Taft. The p values determined earlier in water and ethanol also obey this rule.

Potentiometric titration has been used to measure dissociation constants of 38 monosubstituted benzoic acids in water and in 6 organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, sulfolane, acetone). The results have been analyzed and interpreted from the point of view of substituent and solvent effects on the dissociation of the title substrates. It has been proved that solvents affect not only the reaction constant but also the substituent constant of the Hammett equation.

Sixteen 3,4-disubstituted benzoic acids (with all combinations of CH3O, CH3, Cl/Br, and NO2 substituents) have been synthesized and their dissociation constants measured in seven organic solvents (methanol, acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, pyridine, 1,2-dichloroethane). The effect of disubstitution and the validity of additive correlation relationships based on the Hammett equation have been analyzed by means of the analysis of variance, comparison of overall residual standard deviations of correlation equations of additive and additive multiplicative type, and application of the Hammett equation with internal (latent, defined in various ways) parameters and external (taken from literature) parameters describing the substituent effects. The effect of disubstitution has been found to be additive and describable within the validity range of the substituent constants adopted - by applying the additivity principle without any additional correction for interactions between the two substituents. The same conclusion has been drawn from the comparison of overall residual deviations in correlation equations for mono- and disubstituted derivatives. The analysis of differences between the reaction constants of the Hammett equation applied to mono- and disubstituted benzoic acids has shown that in organic solvents the solvation of substituents makes various contributions. The substituent influence is stronger in polar aprotic solvents (acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile) than that in the protic, basic, and less polar ones in which the stabilization by hydrogen bond becomes important, the role of proton donor being played either by the solvent itself (methanol) or by its conjugated acid (pyridine) or by a molecule of the dissociating acid as a consequence of homoconjugation (1,2-dichloroethane).

Dissociation constants of 10 aliphatic carboxylic acids, of general formula R-COOH, were measured by potentiometric titration in acetonitrile, propylene carbonate, acetone, N,N- dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide. The p* reaction constants of the Taft equation were found to depend on the solvent polarity, whereas the influence of the Lewis basicity and acidity is negligible. The p* values determined earlier in water, methanol and nitromethane also fulfil this rule.

Ten 3,5-disubstituted benzoic acids have been synthesized containing all possible combinations of the following substituents: CH3O, CH3, Cl/Br, NO2. The dissociation constants of these acids have been measured in seven organic solvents (methanol, acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, pyridine, 1,2-dichloroethane). It has been found that the effect of disubstitution is smaller than that due to interaction of substituents or their solvation and represents only about 0.2% of the effect caused by the individual substituents. The additivity in 3,5-disubstitution is about 2 - 3 times as good as that in 3,4-disubstitution. The quantitative description of substituent effects at the 3 and 5 positions is additive within the range of validity of the Hammett equation irrespective of the type of the substituent constants adopted, the addition of the multiplicative term being statistically insignificant. The solvent effect on 3,4- and 3,5-disubstituted derivatives is somewhat different at the same value of the reaction constant, due predominantly to the specific solvation of the 4-CH3O and 4-NO2 groups.

Thirteen monosubstituted arylsulphonamides (XC6H4SO2NH2) and two 3,4-disubstituted arylsulphonamides (X2C6H3SO2NH2) have been synthetized and their dissociation constants have been measured by potentiometric titration in water, methanol, and ethanol. The Hammett substitution dependences have been calculated for all the media, and changes in the reaction constants due to transition from water to alcohols are discussed in confrontation with analogous dependences of benzoic acids. The reaction constant ρ found in methanol is lower than that in water. The dissociation constants have been treated mathematically by the method of the principal components and by multiple linear regression.

Ten 2,6-disubstituted benzoic acids have been synthesized containing all possible combinations of the following substituents: CH3, OCH3, Cl, and NO2. The dissociation constants of these acids have been measured by potentiometric titration in methanol, acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, pyridine, and 1,2-dichloroethane. The experimental data obtained together with the pK values of 2-substituted benzoic acids in the same solvents have been analyzed from the point of view of ortho effect and additivity of disubstitution. The mutual interaction between substituents was found to represent only 0.12% of the variability due to substitution and to contribute to the overall variability of data less than the interaction between the substituent and solvent by a factor of about 13. The analysis of data by the method of multiple linear regression revealed a contribution of steric effects beside the effects transmitted through the aromatic skeleton. The 2- and 6-substituents effects are additive within the validity of the Hammett equation, and an addition of a multiplicative term describing interactions between the substituents is statistically insignificant. Nonlinear regression has been adopted in the additive model with multiplicative term to find the inner substituent constants including all the effects of substituents from ortho position: the term describing the interaction between 2- and 6-substituents is statistically insignificant in this model. An application of the method of conjugated deviations revealed two statistically significant latent variables. The first one explains 91.5% of the variability of data and is connected with the substituent effects transmitted through the aromatic skeleton. The second one explains 7.5% of variability of data and predominantly reflects the steric effects of substituents.

The kinetics of decomposition of 1,3-bis(4-methylphenyl)triazene catalyzed with 13 substituted benzoic acids of various concentrations have been measured in 25 vol.% aqueous methanol at 25.0 °C. The rate constants observed (297 data) have be used as values of independent variable in a series of models of the catalyzed decomposition. For the catalytic particles were considered the undissociated acid, its conjugated base, and the proton in both the specific and general catalyses. Some models presumed formation of reactive or nonreactive complexes of the individual reactants. The substituent effect is described by the Hammett equation. The statistically best model in which the observed rate constant is a superposition of a term describing the dependence on proton concentration and a term describing the dependence on the product of concentrations of proton and conjugated base is valid with the presumption of complete proton transfer from the catalyst acid to substrate, which has been proved. The behaviour of 4-dimethylamino, 4-amino, and 3-amino derivatives is anomalous (lower catalytic activity as compared with benzoic acid). This supports the presumed participation of conjugated base in the title process.

Cyclic voltammetry has been used to measure formal potentials of seven aromatic ketone/ketyl radical anion systems in benzonitrile, acetonitrile , propylene carbonate, acetone, N,N- dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one, dimethyl sulfoxide and hexamethylphosphoric triamide. The values measured in each solvent obey the Hammett- Streitwieser equation; the reaction constants were found to depend on the solvent acidity and basicity expressed by acceptor and donor numbers, respectively. The results are discussed in terms of the solvation of the products and reactants of the electrode reaction.

The dissociation constants measured earlier for 35 substituted benzoic acids in seven solvents (water, methanol, ethanol, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, sulfolane, and acetone) have been submitted to the principal components analysis and the factor analysis to produce sets of the Hammett substituent constants. The solvent effects have been evaluated on the dissociation constants of the substituted benzoic acids and, hence, also on the respective substituent constants. He differences have been compared between the substituent constants determined by the principal components analysis and by the factor analysis, the latter being found to be more suitable. The obtained sets of substituent constants have been confronted with literature data, and an excellent agreement has been found between the σ constants derived from the measurements in water with the sets of primary substituent constants and some other sets.
