  "term": "Kamlet-Taft solvent parameters",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A set of empirical scales used to quantify the solvatochromic properties of solvents, based on their ability to act as hydrogen bond donors, hydrogen bond acceptors, and their polarity/polarizability. These parameters are derived from the solvatochromic shifts of indicator dyes. They provide a quantitative measure for understanding and predicting solvent effects on reaction rates and equilibria.",
