Abstrakt: Kamlet- Taft’s α (hydrogen bond donor acidity) and π* (dipolarity/polarizability) values of various silica batches measured in various solvents are presented. The α and π* parameters for the various solid acids are analyzed by means of Fe( phen)2(CN)2 ( cis-dicyano- bis-(1,10)-phenanthroline-iron(II), 1), Michler’s ketone (4,4′- bis-(dimethylamino)-benzophenone, 2), and two hydrophilic derivatives of 2, (4-(dimethylamino)-4′-(di-2-hydroxyethyl)-amino-benzophenone ( 3a) and 4,4′- bis-(di-(2-hydroxyethyl)-amino)-benzophenone ( 3b) as well as coumarin 153 ( 4) as solvatochromic surface polarity indicators. Apparent β (hydrogen bond acceptor basicity) parameters for bare silica have been evaluated by means of an aminobenzodifuranone dye ( 5) as solvatochromic probe. The chemical interpretation of the α and π* parameters and the nature of the solvent/surface interaction which they reflect are discussed. It can be shown that an increase of the HBA (hydrogen bond accepting) capacity of the solvent significantly decreases the HBD (hydrogen bond donating) capacity of the surface environment, whereas the dipolarity/polarizability value of the silica/solvent interface is a composite of many effects. The classification of the polarity of silica particles in organic solvents compared to pure liquids is outlined. Theoretical ET(30) values of the solid/solvent interfaces are calculated by applying linear solvation energy (LSE) relationships using the independently measured α and π* values of the solid acids according to [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
