Abstract

For a series of seven unsaturated and seven epoxy di- and tricarboxylic acids, pK^a_a values were determined potentiometrically in aqueous media at 25 °C and an ionic strength of 0.1 M (NaCl). The thermodynamic pK^a_a values were correlated with the atomic charges of carboxylic group calculated by the MNDO-PM3 semiempirical MO method.
