The paper presents values of 25 substituent constants σi obtained by optimizing 46 data series of dissociation constants of substituted benzoic acids in various media. The constants σi fulfil the general relation between the substituent constants of the Hammett type in meta and para positions enabling the description of substituent effects from both positions at the same time by a single constant. The Hammett substituent constants are interpreted by means of the σi constants with an accuracy better than 0.03 units. In addition to it, the validity of general relationship between σp and σm was verified on a set of 56 substituents with the prediction accuracy of 0.06 units for σp, and after excluding the probably incorrectly parametrized substituents NHCOC6H5, CH3S, and F the accuracy has improved to 0.05 units (98% of interpreted variability). The given relationship has served as a basis for suggesting a new model of transfer of substituent effects to a reaction centre: the model involves both the Hammett equation and the Yukawa-Tsuno equation and explains their background. The suggested model uses generalized transmission coefficients to separately describe the transformation of a single primary substituent effect - depending on its structure - into one inductive and two resonance effects which are transmitted through two independent channels to the reaction centre and here transformed into the resulting observable effect. From the model it follows that the substituent constant σp is not a substituent constant in the true sense of the word since it involves the characteristics of skeleton and of reaction centre.

The dissociation constants of nineteen ortho substituted benzoic acids have been determined in eight organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, pyridine, 1,2-dichloroethane). The correlation between the σI, σR, and υ constants were unsuccessful due to neglecting the description of intramolecular hydrogen bond effect. The method of conjugated deviations has been applied to the results obtained and to those given in literature for ortho substituted benzoic acids (the dissociation constants, the reaction with diphenyldiazomethane, 33 sets), and values of three types of substituent constants have been determined for 29 substituents. The first of these substituent constants, σoi, describes the electronic effects and was adjusted with the application of the isoparameter relation (σoi as a function of σmi) suggested in previous communications. This constant (after excluding the substituents NHCOCH3 and OCOCH3) correlates very well (R = 0.993) with the σI and σR constants. The second substituent constant, σHGi, describes the interaction of the reaction centre (the oxygen atom of carboxylate anion) with the substituent, and it has non-zero values for the substituents OH, SH, NH2, NHCH3, NHCOCH3, COOH, CONH2, and SO2NH2. The third substituent constant, σSi, describes the steric effects and is not significantly related to any of the known quantities of this type. The set given was tested together with the triad of σI, σR, and υ on the definition set and on a set extended by other 28 sets of processes with ortho substituted compounds. On the whole, the set of substituent constants suggested explains 94.6% of variability of data, whereas only 66.0% are explained with the use of σI, σR, and u constants. Moreover, the tests have shown that the σoi constant is not suitable for interpretations of processes involving direct conjugation between the reaction centre and substituent.

The paper deals with chemometric analysis of the inductive effect. The notion of inductive effect is discussed, and unambiguous definitions are given for the notions of triad: reaction centre-basic skeleton-substituent, and the therewith connected definitions of inductive effect. For a quantitative description of inductive effect 7 types of chemical models were selected including noncyclic compounds, cyclic, and bicyclic compounds, derivatives of quinuclidine, 3-substituted benzoic acids, sulfonamides and pyridines. Altogether 139 sets of experimental data from literature have been used including altogether 1 294 points (9.3 points per set, 5 points at least) reflecting substituent effects of 34 substituents. It has been found that for a standard model the dissociation of substituted bicycloalkanecarboxylic acids only is satisfactory, all the other models reflecting also the mesomeric effects to variable extent (up to 10%). A distinctly different substitution behaviour was observed with 19F and 13C NMR chemical shifts of 4-substituted 1-fluoro- or 1-methylbicyclo[2.2.2]octanes. The earlier suggested model of substituent effects based on different way of transmission of substituent effects (3 classes) has been used for separating the inductive and mesomeric effects: it is mathematically presented as a set of straight lines with the intersection point at the so-called isoeffect substituent constant. Using the modified method of conjugated deviations a chemometric scale has been created for the inductive effect which agrees very well with the conventional scales given in literature; the only differences were observed for F and CH=O substituents (which are overestimated and underestimated, respectively, in literature). In the context given the inductive effect appears as a fundamental quantity forming a basis for quantitative description of other effects transferred by electrons.

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.

Alternative interpretation of substituent effects (AISE) starts from the presumption that a substituent only possesses a single property described by a single substituent constant. This property is transmitted to the reaction centre by three different ways depending on the interaction type in the triad reaction centre - basic skeleton - substituent. For interpretation it is substantial whether or not the substituent has p electrons at the atom adjacent to the basic skeleton. If it has none, the substituent belongs to class I and operates only by its basic effect described by the mentioned single substituent constant. Substituents of class II possess a free electron pair at the atom adjacent to the basic skeleton, and those of class III have a multiple bond between the first and the second atoms which is polarized in the direction from the basic skeleton. Substituent effects in class I are described by a substituent constant identical with σI constant. Substituents in classes II and III show additional effects proportional to the same constant. Hence, a separate treatment of substituent effects in the individual classes provides three straight lines intersecting in a common point. Mathematically, the description of substituent effects in this approach is expressed by a family of lines with a single explaining variable. The point of intersection, which is referred to as the iso-effect point, is not identical with the classic standard substituent - hydrogen - but is near to CN substituent. The approach given has the advantage of adopting a single substituent constant whose scale can be adjusted relatively precisely. Its drawback (like in the case of the correlation equations derived from the principle of separation of substituent effects) lies in a more extensive set of substituents needed for a correlation. The AISE principle has been applied to 318 series of experimental data describing effects of 32 substituents in a large variety of chemical models (aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic, heteroaromatic, with or without direct conjugation between reaction centre and substituent) in both chemical reactions and equilibria. A comparison with two other correlation relations with two and three substituent constants for interpretation of substituent effects based on the principle of separation of the individual substituent effects showed that the closeness of AISE based correlations is comparable with that of the correlation equations currently used. It was somewhat less successful in the models with direct conjugation between reaction centre and substituent but the AISE principle can be used even in these cases.

Ten 4,4'-disubstituted bis(arenesulfon)imides of the general formula XC6H4SO2NHSO2C6H4X have been synthesized and their structures confirmed by their 1H NMR spectra. Elemental analyses are presented for the compounds not yet described. The dissociation constants of these model substances have been measured potentiometrically in pyridine, dimethylformamide, methanol, ethanol, propylene carbonate, acetone, acetonitrile, 1,2-dichloroethane and tetramethylene sulfone. The pKHA values obtained have been correlated with three sets of the Hammett substituent constants and the results have been used to discuss the solvent and substituent effects on the dissociation of the compounds studied. Sulfonimides with electron-acceptor substituents behave as rather strong acids in some solvents (pyridine, dimethylformamide, methanol and ethanol), whereas normal substituent dependences are found in other solvents. The experimental data have also been interpreted with the help of the statistical methods based on latent variables. From the calculations it follows that only the first principal component, which correlates well with the substituent constant sets adopted, is statistically significant in describing the substituent effect on the acid-base process studied.

Polarographic reduction of two series of benzoylacetanilides has been investigated in 40% (by volume) ethanolic Britton–Robinson buffers. One series (A) contains substituents on the anilide moiety, and the second (B) has substituents on both the anilide and benzoyl moieties. Polarographic controlled-potential electrolysis data indicate that the electroactive species in both series is the protonated form (ArCOCH2CONHAr′)H+. The reduction half-wave potentials of anilides of series A were found to be independent of the nature of the substituent, whereas those of series B show a good linear relationship when plotted vs. the σ substituent constant of the substituent on the benzoyl moiety (ρ = 0.284, r = 0.995). Values of the acid dissociation constants of the keto (K1) and enol (K2) tautomers of the anilides of series A were calculated; unlike their E1/2 values, the pK1 data show a linear correlation with the Hammett substituent constant, σ. The pK2 values show, however, little variation with σ.

The reaction of substituted anilines and benzenesulfonyl chlorides has been used to prepare 49 substituted N-phenylbenzenesulfonamides of general formula 4-X-C6H4SO2NHC6H4-Y-4'. Their purity was checked by elemental analysis. The substituents X and Y include H, CH3, CH3O, Cl, Br, CN, and NO2. The dissociation constants of all compounds were determined by potentiometric titration in methanol, acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide, and pyridine. The obtained dissociation constants, pKHA, were correlated with various sets of substituent constants. It was found that the effects of substituents X and Y on the dissociation are best described by using the Hammett equation with σp constants and the Yukawa-Tsuno equation with σp- and σp constants, respectively. This result confirms the direct conjugation of Y substituent with the reaction centre. The explained variability using the additive model was above 96% in all the solvents used. The data also provided information about the transmission effect of the SO2 group. The average dissociation constants were further processed by the latent variables methods, principal components and conjugated deviations analyses.

Seventeen p-substituted N-phenylsulfonylbenzamides of general formulas XC6H4SO2NHCOC6H5 and C6H5SO2NHCOC6H4X have been synthesized and their structure has been confirmed by elemental analysis and 1H NMR spectra. The dissociation constants of all the compounds have been measured by potentiometric titration in methanol, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and pyridine. The obtained pKHA values have been correlated with three sets of Hammett substituent constants using simple or double linear regression. The solvent and substituent effects are discussed on the basis of experimental results, and the difference between the substituent effects from sulfonamide and benzamide sections is evaluated. It has been found that due to the extensive delocalization of negative charge in the conjugated base the transmission effects of carbonyl and sulfonyl groups on the transmission of substituent effect are roughly the same. The experimental data have been interpreted by the methods with latent variables: the principal component analysis (PCA), the conjugated deviation analysis (CDA), and the method of projection to latent structures (PLS). The results obtained by these procedures were similar.

Separation of the substituent effect ρσ into entropie ρSσS and enthalpic ρHσH contributions is presented within the framework of the general Hammett equation. Analysis of the experimental data for aromatic acids shows that, in general, entropie effects are the major contribution to the total substituent effect, the entropic reaction constant being approximately equal to the normal Hammett ρ A comparison of the present results with those based on a separation of inductive and resonance effects shows that the entropie and inductive effects are directly related. On the other hand, strongly resonance interacting substituents were found to be enthalpy controlled. The substituent effect on enthalpy and entropy changes is discussed from a molecular point of view and related to inductive and resonance effects. A list of 16 enthalpic (σH) and entropie (σS) substituent constants are presented.

Thirteen substituted 1-naphthoic acids have been prepared and their dissociation constants, along with those of twenty-five substituted 2-naphthoic acids, have been measured potentiometrically in methanol, N,N-dimethylformamide, pyridine, and acetonitrile. The pKHA values obtained have been treated by linear regression using four sets of substituent constants. The experimental data have also been interpreted by statistical methods using latent variables. The first latent variable calculated by these methods can be used as a new set of substituent constants for describing substituent effects in naphthalene skeleton.
