Notes:
A thermodynamic hydrogen-bond basicity scale, pKHB, and a spectroscopic hydrogen-bond basicity scale, Δν(OH), were measured which permitted the construction of the solute hydrogen-bond basicity scale, β2H, for 71 nitriles embracing a wide range of structures from trichloroacetonitrile to cyanamides. Field, resonance, and polarizability contributions of the X substituents to the hydrogen-bond basicity of XCN compounds were established. Steric effects do not contribute to the hydrogen-bond basicity of nitriles.
