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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
