Optical basicity scales in protic solvents: water, hydrogen fluoride, ammonia and their mixtures.
In an inorganic material, a measure of the Lewis basicity of a solvent is commonly provided by the optical basicity, i.e. the ability of the solvent molecules to donate their electrons to an acidic species. This quantity is known to vary with the polarizability of the Lewis base. In protic solvents,...
