5.3.01: Acid-Base Models as Organizing Concepts
5.3.02: Lewis Concept and Frontier Orbitals
5.3.2.01: The frontier orbital approach considers Lewis acid-base reactions in terms of the donation of electrons from the base's highest occupied orbital into the acid's lowest unoccupied orbital.
5.3.2.02: All other things being equal electron withdrawing groups tend to make Lewis acids stronger and bases weaker while electron donating groups tend to make Lewis bases stronger and acids weaker
5.3.2.03: The electronic spectra of charge transfer complexes illustrate the impact of frontier orbital interactions on the electronic structure of Lewis acid-base adducts
5.3.2.04: Substances' solution phase Lewis basicity towards a given acid may be estimated using the enthalphy change for dissociation of its adduct with a reference acid of similar hardness.
5.3.2.05: In the boron trifluoride affinity scale the enthalphy change on formation of an adduct between the base and boron trifluoride is taken as a measure of Lewis basicity.
5.3.2.06: Lewis base strength may also be estimated by measuring structural or energy changes upon formation of a Lewis acid-base complex as illustrated by efforts to spectroscopically assess the strengths of halogen bonds
5.3.2.07: Bulky groups weaken the strength of Lewis acids and bases because they introduce steric strain into the resulting acid-base adduct.
5.3.2.08: Frustrated Lewis pair chemistry uses Lewis acid and base sites within a molecule that are sterically restricted from forming an adduct with each other.
5.3.03: Hard and Soft Acids and Bases
5.3.3.01: Hard-Hard and Soft-Soft preferences may be explained and quantified in terms of electrostatic and covalent and electronic stabilization on the stability of Lewis acid-base adducts
