The pK values of the second ionization of a set of substituted sulfone
phthaleins are studied by spectrophotometry and C-13 NMR spectroscopy.
A study of the correlation between equilibrium and spectral data on t
he one hand and the substituent effects on the other is presented, usi
ng the dual substituent analysis of Swain and Lupton. This shows a com
plete dependence of pK values on the F field variable, and of the wave
lengths of the bands of basic forms on the R resonance variable.
