Swain Acity and Basity

Orthogonal solvent "acity" (anion solvation) and "basity" (cation solvation) properties according to Swain et al..
C. G. Swain, M. S. Swain, A. L. Powell and S. Alunni; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 105 (1983) 502-513.

Acity is measure of hydrogen bond acidity and is correlated with →Dimroth-Reichardt ET (→ET vs Acity) and →Gutmann AN (→AN vs Acity).
Basity is somewhat correlated with →Catalán SPP (→SPP vs Basity)
