Popis: The H0, [Formula: see text] and (in part) the HA acidity functions have been determined in 70% DMSO–water for the sulfuric acid concentration range 0–85%. In sharp contrast to purely aqueous acid systems the H0 (primary aniline) and [Formula: see text] (tertiary aniline) scales in DMSO–water are closely parallel over a wide range of acidity. This provides clear experimental demonstration that linearity of log (ionization ratio) vs. acidity function with unit slope is not a sufficient condition that a base is obeying a given acidity function. When the three acidity functions in DMSO–water are shifted to a purely aqueous standard state, their order is completely reversed from that observed in aqueous acids. These differences in behavior are discussed in terms of cation solvation by DMSO molecules only.
