Fawcett Acidity and Basicity

The acidity (Ap) and basicity (Bp) values of Fawcett are obtained from the solvation energy of monoatomic ions interpreted using the mean spherical approximation.

Chem. 96 (1992) 408–414, and W. R. Fawcett; "Acidity and basicity scales for polar solvents", J. Phys. Chem. 97 (1993) 9540–9546.
