\nAbstract<\/strong> \u2014 The rate and selec\u00adtiv\u00adi\u00adty of reac\u00adtions cat\u00adalyzed by acids depend on the sta\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty of ion-pairs at tran\u00adsi\u00adtion states that medi\u00adate kinet\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly-rel\u00ade\u00advant steps. Rates and selec\u00adtiv\u00adi\u00adties for alka\u00adnol dehy\u00addra\u00adtion and homolo\u00adga\u00adtion, alkene and cycloalkene iso\u00admer\u00adiza\u00adtion, and alkox\u00adide scis\u00adsion and hydro\u00adgen trans\u00adfer on poly\u00adox\u00adomet\u00ada\u00adlate and zeolitic acids show that sen\u00adsi\u00adtiv\u00adi\u00adty to acid strength reflects dif\u00adfer\u00adences in the amount and dif\u00adfuse\u00adness of the charge in the rel\u00ade\u00advant pre\u00adcur\u00adsors and the tran\u00adsi\u00adtion states. The effects of sol\u00adva\u00adtion by con\u00adfine\u00adment on rates and selec\u00adtiv\u00adi\u00adties depend, in turn, on their respec\u00adtive dif\u00adfer\u00adences in size. The known struc\u00adtures of these acids allow rig\u00ador\u00adous com\u00adpar\u00adisons between exper\u00adi\u00adment and the\u00ado\u00adry, which con\u00adfirm the mech\u00ada\u00adnis\u00adtic inter\u00adpre\u00adta\u00adtions of rate data and the rel\u00ade\u00advance of depro\u00adto\u00adna\u00adtion ener\u00adgies as the\u00ado\u00adret\u00adi\u00adcal prox\u00adies of acid strength. These stud\u00adies and insights sug\u00adgest a rig\u00ador\u00adous reac\u00adtiv\u00adi\u00adty-based rank\u00ading of acid strength that can be used to assess the strength of sol\u00adid acids with uncer\u00adtain or non-uni\u00adform struc\u00adtures.
