✦ Synopsis
It is shown, by the MP2(fc)/6-31G**//HF/6-31G* + ZPE(HF/6-31G*) theoretical model and subsequent use of homodesmic reactions, that the absolute proton affinities in disubstituted naphthalenes involving F and CN substituents satisfy the simple additivity rule, which was previously found to hold in polysubstituted benzenes, the average absolute error being close to 1 kcal mol Ϫ 1 . The origin of the remarkable additivity of substituent effects in determining proton affinities in substituted aromatics and the variations in the values are briefly discussed.
