Parameters to measure separately the ability of a solvent to enter into non-specific
solvent–solute interactions (
permittivity
and
refractive index
)
and specific solvent–solute interaction (solvent
basicity or
nucleophilicity
and solvent
acidity or
electrophilicity
) as contributing to overall solvent
polarity.
