Improvement of the applicability of Taft–Kamlet solvent polarity parameters to chemical reactivity
Abstract
Solvent effects on reaction rates (16 systems), equilibria (20 systems), and spectral properties (seven systems) are found to be better described by Taft–Kamlet solvent parameters divided by the (n2– 1)/(2n2+ 1) refractive index function than by the original Taft–Kamlet parameters.
