The applicability of the H0 acidity function to primary aromatic amines in general has been tested by using a set of five aniline indicators bearing no nitro-substituents. Up to 45% sulfuric acid the scale generated by these bases is the same (within experimental uncertainty) as that based entirely on nitro-anilines.

The protonation of eleven thioamides, five thioureas, and four thionbenzoates in aqueous sulfuric acid has been found to follow the HT acidity function with acceptable accuracy. Protonation constants pKTH+ obtained by use of HT agreed fairly well with pKTH+ values obtained by the Bunnett–Olsen method, but less well with those obtained by the Marziano–Cimino–Passerini procedure. Linear free-energy relationships of pKTH+ values are discussed.

The protonation behavior of the trinitrobenzene–phenoxide σ-complex has been determined in aqueous sulfuric acid, aqueous hydrochloric acid, and ethanolic hydrogen chloride. The conjugate acid of the σ-complex, a nitronic acid, exhibits acidic properties similar to those of picric acid and the cyanocarbon acids. The acidity (pKa) of the nitronic acid has been evaluated with the aid of various acidity function techniques and using the Bunnett–Olsen method. The nitronic acid is ca. 1 pK unit stronger than picric acid. However, both the nitronic acid and picric acid are considerably weaker acids in ethanolic than in aqueous media (ΔpK ca. 4 units). The results provide a preliminary H− acidity function scale for aqueous and ethanolic hydrogen chloride.
