Experimental and theoretical investigation of the ability of oxygen-containing molecules to accept charge

Creator:

Siggel, Michele Ruth Fisher

Abstract:

The question of why carboxylic acids and phenols are stronger acids than alcohols has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. The experimental approach involves comparison of gas-phase acidities and core-ionization energies. The theoretical treatment uses calculated point potentials and acidities. The ease of proton removal is related to two factors known...
