Using the PM3 method, enthalpies and free energies of the gaseous-phase
proton affinity (PA) have been computed for aniline and 62 of its
derivatives with different kinds of electron-donor and electron-acceptor
substitution in the aromatic ring and at the nitrogen atom. Linear
correlations of the type pKa vs. PA have been found. Deviations of the data
for ortho substituted anilines from the above relationships was discussed in
view of possible hydrophobic hydration of the molecular fragments ajacent to
the protonation centre. Linear dependecesPexper = bPtheor (wherePis standard
entropy, heat or Gibbs energy of formation, first ionization potential,
molecular dipole moment) were found.
