Résumé

On démontre que les énergies d'ionisation des ethers, R2O, sont une fonction linéaire des constantes substituentes polaires et inductives. Les groupes alkyls qui donnent des électrons abaissent l'énergie d'ionisation du «lone-pair» de l'atome d'oxygène. L'eau est inclue dans la corrélation de même que lether le plus simple. On trouve qu'avec bonne approximationEI=10,00+ 2,57Σσ* ouEI=12,59+28,0ΣσI.
