Conclusions

  1. 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. 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. 3.

    In the molecules of unbranched aliphatic acids, the electronic influence of substituents is practically quenched on the third carbon atom.
