Zeta potential plots, Kamlet-Taft's alpha (hydrogen bond-donating, HBD), beta (hydrogen bond-accepting, HBA), and pi* (dipolarity/polarizability) parameters as well as Gutmann's DN (donor numbers) are presented for 12 differently functionalized (i.e. alkyl, cyanoalkyl, aminoalkyl, and imidazolidine) silica particles. The pH-dependent zeta potential plots were measured in aqueous solution, whereas the solvatochromic studies were performed in 1,2-dichloroethane and cyclohexane as solvents using a special UV/visible spectroscopic technique. For the determination of the solvatochromic polarity parameters, a set of carefully characterized polarity indicators was employed: Cu(tmen)(acac)(+) B(C6H5)(4)(-) for beta and DN; dicyano-bis(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II) for alpha; 4,4'-bis-(N,N-dimethylamino)benzophenone for pi*; and an aminobenzofuranone derivative {3-(4-amino-3-methylphenyl)-7-phenyl-benzo[1,2b : 4,5b']difuran-2,6-dione} (ABF) for alpha, beta, and pi*. The calculation of the polarity parameters was carried out via linear solvation energy (LSE) correlation equations using the Kamlet-Taft solvent parameters as a reference system. A linear correlation between the electrokinetically determined value of the isoelectric point and the beta parameter of the functionalized silicas is demonstrated.
