Abstract

A species formed by dimerization from monoprotonated 1,2-pyridazine i.e., 1,2-pyridazenium cation that was optimized by DFT calculations is identified as a common dimer to explain the systematic changes in the pK_aHs of both Pyridazenium cations and Pyridazenium di-cations.

Keywords

Pyridazenium cation dimer, pK_aHs, 1,2-pyridazine, 1,3-pyridazine, 1,4-pyridazine
