Abstract
New and updated Lewis acid strengths are listed for 135 cations bonded to oxygen for use with published Lewis base strengths. A strong correlation between Lewis acid strength and ionization energy is shown, and correlation with electronegativity is confirmed.Entities:
Keywords: Lewis acidity; bond valence; electronegativity; ionization energy; valence-matching principle
