Abstract

Equilibrium acidities (~ KHA), reduction potentials E,,(HA), oxidation potentials E,,(HA), and oxidation potentials of the conjugate anionsE,(A-) have been measured in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution for 13 a-substituted 9-methylanthracenes (9-GCH b) and 11 10-substituted 9-methylanthracenes (10-G-9-MeAn). The equilibrium acidities have been shown to be linearly correlated with Hammett o-constants. The similar p-values for the linear ...
