The aqueous dissociation constants for a number of substituted picric acids and related compounds have been determined spectrophotometrically, and the values obtained correlated with the mid-equivalence potentials obtained by half-neutralization in acetone solution. Analysis of these results together with those obtained similarly for substituted benzoic acids shows that while the mid-equivalence potential method affords a rapid and convenient means of making a good estimate of the acid strength of a compound, it has its limitations and is only strictly applicable within the confines of a series of closely similar compounds. The observed pKa values of a large series of polysubstituted phenols were correlated with the predicted values obtained from the Hammett relation, and good agreement obtained, even with substituted picric acids; styphnic acids appear to behave anomalously.

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.

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.

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.

Substituted Benzoic Acids

Apparent dissociation constants of 3-substituted bicyclo[2,2,2]-octane-1-carboxylic acids I-III and of several substituted benzoic acids were measured in four pure solvents. The results - together with numerous literature data concerning dissociation in other solvents and in the gas phase - were compared with the prediction of the electrostatic theory. The theory fails to reproduce the essential features of the solvent dependence as it predicts generally too small effects and does not differentiate between protic and aprotic solvents. The mentioned goal cannot be achieved by any more sophisticated cavity model or by any other theory as far as it characterizes the solvent only through its bulk permittivity.

Substituted Benzoic Acids

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.
