"Cohesive Energy Density"

d^2 = dH(vap) - RT/molar volume
Term
Kosover Z-Scale (Z)
Reichardt Scale (Et)
Definition
From Absorption Spectra of salts

The more polar the solvent the higher the frequency of light needed to go from ion pair to two radicals
Term
Y Scale
Definition
Winstein and Grunwald
Used rates of solvolysis of t-Bu chloride
log ky/k0 = mY

m - substrate specificity
Y = solvent scale and also related to Et
k0 based off 80% aquaous ethanol (20% water)
Term
Why Water is weird
Definition
1) Temperature of max density higher than melting point
2)thermal expansion 1/V(dV/dT) is negative from -20 to 4
3) Bulk Modulus Kappa= -VdP/dV
has minimum at 46 C
4)Cp pretty much constant from 0-100 but changes a lot at low temperatures

Had solubilizing Ammonium Groups
Term
alpha-effect
Definition
larger anions not as well solvated, originally thought to be lone-pair lone-pair repulsions
Term
Hammett Equation
Definition
log Kx/Ko = sigmax * rho
a positive sigma -> electron withdrawing
negative -> electron donating
ρ>1, the reaction is more sensitive to substituents than benzoic acid and negative charge is built during the reaction.
0<ρ<1 , the reaction is less sensitive to substituents than benzoic acid and negative charge is built.
ρ=0, no sensitivity to substituents, and no charge is built.
ρ<0, the reaction builds positive charge.
Term
Swain-Scott Equation
Definition
log (k/ko) = sn
n = nucleophilicity
s = substrate specificity
Term
Grunwald-Winstein Equation
Definition
log(k/ko) = mY

Y is solvent scale
m is sensitivity of substrate

based of solvolysis of t-butyl chloride in 80% aqueous ethanol
Term

Definition
has to be in the same plane with p orbital of carbonyl and siqma star LUMO
