How to Predict the p<i>K</i>_a of Any Compound in Any Solvent

Abstract

's computed using an implicit solvation model on the other hand differ significantly from the experimental data. These differences are partly associated with the poor quality of the experimental data and the well-known shortcomings of implicit solvation models. General linear scaling relationships to correct this error are suggested for protic and aprotic media. Using these relationships, the deviations between experiment and computations drop to a level comparable to that observed in water, which highlights the efficiency of our method.
