Estimating the pKa of phenols, carboxylic acids and alcohols from semi-empirical quantum chemical methods

Abstract:

:Quantitative structure property relationships (QSPR) for the pKa of phenols, carboxylic acids and alcohols were developed from descriptors derived from semi-empirical molecular orbital theory quantum chemical calculations. A training set of compounds were used to refine the models and a validation set of appropriate chemicals were chosen to test the models. Correlation coefficients for the estimated versus observed pKa values were 0.96 for phenols, 0.84 for non-aromatic carboxylic acids, 0.89 for benzoic acids and 0.89 for alcohols. The results obtained by the quantum chemical method are compared to results obtained from linear free energy relationships (LFER) and the merits of each approach are discussed.

  • Singlet oxygen production abilities of oxidated aromatic compounds in natural water.

    abstract::Singlet oxygen (1O2) is well known to be formed through energy transfer from excited state organic matters to O2, playing an important role in the transformations of contaminants. However, the contribution of small oxidated aromatic compounds (OACs) to the production of 1O2 in surface water is unclear. In this study, ...
