Abstract
It is shown that the effect of solvent upon a wide variety of equilibria, reaction rates, and spectral shifts may be described by the equation log (ksolvent/kethanol) = SR. S is a constant related to the polarity of the solvent and R is a measure of the sensitivity of the system to change in solvent polarity. Tables of S and R are included.Keywords
