Abstract: The correlations between the overall hydrogen bond acidities ∑A2H of 137 diverse compounds and their quantum chemical parameters have been studied. For the compounds having hydroxyl or carboxyl, ∑A2H=-0.027 7+3.826 QH-0.0273 ELUMO -0.0654 EHOMO +3.085 QO( n=70, r=0.982 ). The quantum chemical parameters QH, ELUMO, EHOMOand QOare the net charge of the hydrogen atom in the hydroxyl or carboxyl of the compounds, the energy of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, the energy of the highest occupied molecular orbital and the net charge of the oxygen binding with the hydrogen atom in the hydroxyl or carboxyl, respectively. For the compounds having amino group, ∑A2H=-1.569+3.637 QH-0.1235 EHOMO ( n=49, r=0.985). QHis the net charge of the hydrogen atom having greater positive net charge in the amino group. For the compounds having imino group, ∑A2H=-0.472+3.676 QH( n=18, r=0.993). QHis the net charge of the hydrogen atom in the imino group.
