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.

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.

Dissociation constants of fifteen substituted arenesulphonamides of general formula XC6H4.SO2NH2 (or X2C6H3SO2NH2) have been measured by potentiometric titration in dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulphoxide, and acetonitrile. The Hammett substitution correlations have been calculated and interpreted for these media. The pKHA values measured and the results published earlier for methanol, ethanol, and water have been treated by multiple linear regresion using the published set of the parameters characterizing solvents and by factor analysis using the short cycle and the target testing method.

The potentiometric titration has been used to measure dissociation constants of fifteen substituted arenesulphonamides of general formula XC6H4SO2NH2 (or X2C6H3SO2NH2) in acetone, 1,2-dichloroethane, tetramethylene sulphone, pyridine, and mixtures water-ethanol (25, 50, 75, 90% by vol. of the organic component), water-dimethylformamide (25, 50, 75% by vol.), water-acetone (25% by vol.), and water-2-methoxyethanol (80% by wt.). The results are compared with those published earlier for water, methanol, ethanol, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulphoxide, and acetonitrile.

In the present work, 11 aromatic and nine aliphatic carboxylic acids, namely benzoic, 2-nitrobenzoic, 3-nitrobenzoic, 4-nitrobenzoic, 2,4-dinitrobenzoic, 3,5-dinitrobenzoic, 2-aminobenzoic, 3-aminobenzoic, 4-aminobenzoic, o-phthalic, salicylic, formic, acetic, monochloroacetic, dichloroacetic, trichloroacetic, propionic, n-butyric, caprylic, and myristic acids, were titrated conductimetrically and potentiometrically with triethylamine in acetonitrile solvent, under a nitrogen atmosphere, at 25 °C. Closer investigation of the conductimetric titration curves of these acids showed that the acidity of an acid, rather than the basicity of its conjugate base, plays a major part in the formation of homoconjugate ions, at least in acetonitrile solvent. If the acid is strong enough, there is a maximum before the experimental end point at about the half-neutralization point. To determine the minimum strength for an acid to show this maximum before the end point, all acids were also titrated potentiometrically. It was found that those acids which have half-neutralization potentials over −85 mV give a strong homoconjugation reaction and show a maximum before the experimental end point. Moreover, the acids that show maxima before the experimental end point in the conductimetric titration also show rather well-shaped potentiometric titration curves. Keywords: nonaqueous media, conductimetric titrations, potentiometric titrations, titration in acetonitrile, acidity and homoconjugation.

The thermodynamic first dissociation constants, [Formula: see text] of thymolsulfonephthalein (H2A), an uncharged acid, have been determined at 25 °C in aqueous mixtures of 10, 30, 50, 70, and 80 wt% acetonitrile (ACN), 11.52, 20.31, 29.64, and 36.83 wt% urea, 20, 40, 60, and 80 wt% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) by spectrophotometric measurements. The solvent effect represented by ∂(ΔG0) = 2.303RT[p(sK)N − p(wK)N] is found to increase in ACN + H2O system as mol% ACN increases in the solvent. In contrast, the corresponding values in urea + H2O as well as DMSO + H2O solvent systems decrease with increase in proportion of organic component in the solvent, the decrease being sharp in urea + H2O. The results have been discussed in terms of the standard Gibbs energies of transfer of H+ from water to the mixed solvent, [Formula: see text] and the relative values of the standard Gibbs energies of transfer of HA−, [Formula: see text] and of [Formula: see text] in all the solvent systems. The overall dissociation behaviour of the acid (H2A) is found to be dictated by the specific solute-solvent interactions of the species participating in the dissociation equilibria.

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.

The Hammett equation correlating the dissociation constants (K for the substituted acid and K0 for the unsubstituted acid) of members of a closely related series of acids is given by log(K/K0) = pσ. Previously, it has been shown that the p values in other solvents can be calculated from the p value in water. In this work it is shown that the pK0 values in other solvents can also be calculated from the pK0 value in water. Therefore, we can now calculate the pK values in various solvents.
