acid–base reaction: References & Edit History

Paul Walden, Salts, Acids, and Bases (1929), chronicles the early development of concepts in this field. R.P. Bell, Acids and Bases, 2nd ed. (1969), is an elementary account, while his The Proton in Chemistry, 2nd ed. (1973), is at a somewhat more advanced level; as is Edward J. King, Acid–Base Equilibria (1965). Also of interest are Edward Caldin and Victor Gold (eds.), Proton-Transfer Reactions (1975); William B. Jensen, The Lewis Acid-Base Concepts (1980); and Adrien Albert and E.P. Serjeant, The Determination of Ionization Constants: A Laboratory Manual, 3rd ed. (1984). Special topics covered in this article are discussed in Ludwig F. Audrieth and Jacob Kleinberg, Non-Aqueous Solvents (1953); J.J. Lagowski (ed.), The Chemistry of Non-Aqueous Solvents, 5 vol. in 6 (1966–78); and Colin H. Rochester, Acidity Functions (1970). Tables of dissociation constants can be found in G. Kortüm, W. Vogel, and K. Andrussow, Dissociation Constants of Organic Acids in Aqueous Solution (1961); D.D. Perrin, Dissociation Constants of Organic Bases in Aqueous Solution (1965), and Ionisation Constants of Inorganic Acids and Bases in Aqueous Solution, 2nd ed. (1982); E.P. Serjeant and Boyd Dempsey (eds.), Ionisation Constants of Organic Acids in Aqueous Solution (1979); and Kosuke Izutsu, Acid-Base Dissociation Constants in Dipolar Aprotic Solvents (1990).
