Abstract
Strength of acid can be determined by means of pKa value. Attempts have been made to find a relationship between pKa and activation energy barrier for a double proton transfer (DPT) reaction in inorganic acid dimers. Negative influence of pKa is observed on activation energy (Ea ) which is contrary to the general convention of pKa . Four different levels of theories with two different basis sets have been used to calculate the activation energy barrier of the DPT reaction in inorganic acid dimers. A model based on first and second order polynomial has been created to find the relationship between activation energy for DPT reaction. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
