M. Turowska et al., ELECTROCHEMICAL STUDY OF ACID-BASE PROPERTIES OF SOME 2,5-DIHYDRO-1,3,4-THIADIAZOLES IN AQUEOUS-ETHANOLIC SOLUTIONS, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 63(1), 1998, pp. 31-41
The dissociation constants K-a for spherically crowded 2'- and 2,5-sub
stituted thiadiazolines and their protonated forms in 45% (v/v) aqueou
s-ethanolic solutions (ionic strength m = 0.1) were determined using t
he pH-metric method. All the thiadiazoles are weak bases. Some of them
showed also weak acidic properties. The formation enthalpies have bee
n calculated using the MNDO method. On the basis of the obtained resul
ts the mechanism of the protonation process is discussed.
