Brønsted base

Chemistry; Physical organic chemistry

A molecular entity capable of accepting a hydron (proton) from an acid (i.e. a "hydron acceptor") or the corresponding chemical species. For example: OH - , H 2 O, CH 3 CO 2 - , HSO 4 - , SO 4 2- ...

Brønsted relation

Chemistry; Physical organic chemistry

The term applies to either of the equations k HA /p = G(K HA q/p) α k A /q = G(K HA q/p) -β (or their logarithmic forms) where α, β and G are constants for a given reaction series (α and ...

Bunnett-Olsen equations

Chemistry; Physical organic chemistry

The equations for the relation between lg((SH + )/(S)) + H o and H o + lg(H + ) for base S in aqueous mineral acid solution, where H o is Hammett's acidity function and H o + lg(H + ) represents ...

cage

Chemistry; Physical organic chemistry

An aggregate of molecules, generally in the condensed phase, that surrounds the fragments formed, for example, by thermal or photochemical dissociation. Because the cage hinders the separation of the ...
