The
linear free energy relationship (LFER) analysis based on the
Hammett equation has been applied for dissociation processes of 8-hydroxyquinoline
and its derivatives in aqueous and 1,4-dioxane-water solutions. The
effects of temperature, composition, and ionic strength of the solutions
have been discussed. The derived semiempirical correlations are of
high statistical quality and of good predictive power which permit
the reliable evaluation of dissociation constants 8-hydroxyquinoline
and its derivatives under specified experimental conditions: (i) temperature
from (289 to 333) K, (ii) mol fraction of 1,4-dioxane ranging from
(0 to 0.380), and (iii) ionic strength of solution changing from 0
to 5 mol·dm–3.
