<p>The protonation for several classes of weak bases has been
studied by n.m.r. techniques and the structure of the conjugate acids
determined. The rates of proton transfer and the activation energies
for some of the processes have been calculated and in the cases of the
methylbenzene-HSO₃F systems the mechanism of the proton transfer process
has been elucidated.</p>
<p>The acidity function (H₀) for the HSO₃F/SbF₅ system has been
redetermined and extended to higher concentrations of SbF₅• The
application of some n.m.r. methods to the measurement of H₀ is discussed.</p>
<p>The behaviour of the n.m.r. spectra of sulphuric and fluorosulphuric
acids upon the addition of electrolytes has been studied
and the results interpreted.</p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
