Description

Acids and Bases in Non-Aqueous Solvents provides a comprehensive review of acid-base behaviour outside water. This book explores how acids and bases behave in different solvents, revealing profound changes in their strengths and the rates of various processes. The author examines the fundamental principles governing acid-base equilibria, including definitions, relationships between solution pH and species distribution, and the influence of molecular structure on acid strengths. Solvent properties are also discussed, with a focus on the interaction energies of solvent molecules with ions and their ability to participate in hydrogen bonding. By reviewing experimental methods for determining dissociation constants and discussing the dissociation constants of a wide range of acids in various solvents, this book offers a detailed understanding of acid-base behaviour in non-aqueous environments.
