Abstract
The through-space polar-π interactions between pyridinium ion and the adjacent aromatic rings in 2,6-diarylpyridines affect the pKavalues. Hammett analysis illustrates that the basicity of pyridines correlates well with the sigma values of the substituents at the paraposition of the flanking aryl rings. The through-space polar-π interactions between pyridinium ion and the adjacent aromatic rings in 2,6-diarylpyridines affect the pKavalues. Hammett analysis illustrates that the basicity of pyridines correlates well with the sigma values of the substituents at the paraposition of the flanking aryl rings (see figure).
