Relationships between aqueous acidities and computed surface-electrostatic potentials and local ionization energies of substituted phenols and benzoic acids
Tóm tắt
Electrostatic potentials and average local ionization energies on the molecular surfaces of 19 phenols, 17 benzoic acids and their respective conjugate bases were computed at the HF/STO-5G(d)//B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level. Good correlations were found between pK as and the V S,max values of the neutral acids and the V S,min and % MathType!Translator!2!1!AMS LaTeX.tdl!TeX -- AMS-LaTeX! % MathType!MTEF!2!1!+- % feaafeart1ev1aaatCvAUfeBSn0BKvguHDwzZbqefeKCPfgBGuLBPn % 2BKvginnfarmWu51MyVXgatuuDJXwAK1uy0HwmaeHbfv3ySLgzG0uy % 0Hgip5wzaebbnrfifHhDYfgasaacH8YjY-vipgYlH8Gipec8Eeeu0x % Xdbba9frFj0-OqFfea0dXdd9vqaq-JfrVkFHe9pgea0dXdar-Jb9hs % 0dXdbPYxe9vr0-vr0-vqpWqaaeaabiGaciaacaqabeaadaqadqaaaO % qaaiqadMeagaqeamaaBaaaleaacaqGtbGaaeilaiaab2gacaqGPbGa % aeOBaaqabaaaaa!3D93! $$ \bar{I}_{{{\text{S,min}}}} $$ of the conjugate bases for both sets of molecules. V S,max is the most positive value of the electrostatic potential on the molecular surface and is an indicator of the ease with which the phenols and benzoic acids lose their acidic hydrogens.
