Kamlet-Taft solvent parameters

There are three Kamlet-Taft solvent parameters: α (hydrogen bond donor), β (hydrogen bond acceptor), and π* (polarizability).
The values of α have been set to 0 for solvents that are assumed to be unable to donate hydrogen bonds. This truncation at 0 is the main reason it differs from other measures of hydrogen bond acidity such as ET and AN.

Occasionally a "polarity correction term" (fudge factor), δ, is seen in correlations. For aromatics δ=1.0, for polychlorinated compounds δ=0.5, and for all other solvents δ=0.0 . If possible this type of ad hoc parameters should be avoided and separate correlations used for different solvent classes.

α is correlated with →Dimroth-Reichardt ET (→ET vs α) and →Gutmann AN (→AN vs α).
β is correlated with →Gutmann DN (→DN vs β) except for amines and sulfides.
π* is correlated with →Catalán SPP (→SPP vs π*).
