Conclusions
-
1.
A quantum-chemical calculation of the molecules of a number of substituted benzoic, acetic, and butyric acids was conducted by the Hoffman MO LCAO method.
-
2.
The charge on the carbon atom bonded to the carboxyl group changes negligibly for meta-substituted acids, while in the case of para-benzoic acids it is correlated with the MacDaniel and Brown thermodynamicσ-constants.
-
3.
In the molecules of unbranched aliphatic acids, the electronic influence of substituents is practically quenched on the third carbon atom.
