Parameters, values, selected acidic

The concentration of the chiral selector, for instance, has considerable influence on the mobility and separation of the enantiomers. Optical resolution varies with the chiral selector concentration and reaches a maximum value at a given optimum concentration. Wren and Rowe proposed a model that describes the influence of the selector concentration on selectivity, and which was extended by Vigh s group ° by including the pH as a separation parameter for weak acidic enantiomers. The latter model shows that the chiral selectivity is determined by the complex s relative mobility, the CD concentration, the degree of dissociation... 

The original set of E and C parameters was determined mainly with the help of enthalpies of adduct formation of iodine and phenol as acceptors with alkylamines as donors. Subsequently, the best set of E and C parameters has been obtained by computer optimization of a large data base of enthalpies and four arbitrarily fixed reference values [71, 215] E = C = for iodine, E = 1.32 for A, A -dimethylacetamide, and Cb = 7.40 for diethyl sulfane. Table 2-6 gives a selection of E and C parameters for Lewis acids and bases commonly used as solvents. 

Values of E and Q for selected acids and Eg and Cg for selected bases are given in Table 6.17 and Appendix B-6. Combining the values of these parameters for acid-base pairs gives the enthalpy of reaction (kcal/mol multiplying by 4.184 J/cal converts to joules). 

The second class contains dual parameters, which occur in pairs of complementary attribntes cationic and anionic charge, Lewis or Brpnsted acidity and basicity (and refinements such as hard or soft acidity and basicity), electrophi-licity and nucleophilicity, and hydrogen-bonding tendency as donor and as acceptor (Table A.2b). A number of the entries in the table are incomplete in that only one of a potential pair of complementary parameters has been investigated. A table of values of most of the listed parameters for selected solvents forms Table A. 3. 

Attempts at correlation analysis for X—C—H acidity have been made for a long time. Bowden and colleagues192 examined the problem in 1970 for the pKa values of 9-X-fluorenes and related series. For a limited selection of substituents X in 9-X-fluorenes, a correlation with Taft s a values for X was found89. A more general correlation, albeit with considerable scatter, was found with AM, a parameter based on LCAO-MO calculations. Several dinitro-substituted diphenylmethanes fitted the line quite well and 2-nitrofluorene fitted passably 9-cyanofluorene also fitted quite well, but malononitrile deviated strongly. 

The chapter is divided into three sections the first part is concerned with the derivation of 3D-LogP descriptor and the selection of suitable parameters for the computation of the MLP values. This study was performed on a set of rigid molecules in order, at least initially, to avoid the issue of conformation-dependence. In the second part, both the information content and conformational sensitivity of the 3D-LogP description was established using a set of flexible acetylated amino acids and dipeptides. This initial work was carried out using log P as the property to be estimated/predicted. However, it should be made clear that, while the 3D-LogP descriptor can be used for the prediction of log P, this was not the primary intention behind its the development. Rather, as previously indicated, the rationale for this work was the development of a conformationally sensitive but alignment-free lipophilicity descriptor for use in QSAR model development. The use of log P as the property to be estimated/predicted enables one to establish the extent of information loss, if any, in the process used to transform the results of MLP calculations into a descriptor suitable for use in QSAR analyses.

An acidity scale has been proposed in which the difference in the acidity parameters. (aB — aA), of a metal oxide and a nonmetal oxide is the square root of the enthalpy of reaction of the acid and base.4 Thus for reaction 9.5, the enthalpy of reaction is —8fikJ mol-1 and so the a values of CaO and SiO, differ by about 9 units. Selected values are fisted in Table 9.1. Although based on the Lux-Flood concept, the values are obviously of more general interest. The most basic oxide, as expected, is cesium oxide, amphoteric oxides have values near zero (water was chosen to calibrate the scale at a value of 0.0). and the most acidic oxide is CLO,. the anhydride of perchloric acid.
