The Differentiating Action of Oxygen-containing Solvents on the Strengths of Acids

The present review examines the differentiating action of various oxygen-containing solvents on the strength of acids, chiefly carboxylic acids, and nitrophenols. The strength of the acids in these solvents is characterised by the dissociation constants (dielectric constant of solvent > 10) or by the conversion constants (dielectric constant of solvent < 10). The constants were determined by the buffer-free indicator method. The bibliography contains 143 references.
