Solvent parameter

  "term": "Solvent parameter",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A numerical value that quantifies a specific property of a solvent, such as its polarity, hydrogen-bond donating ability, or hydrogen-bond accepting ability. These parameters are derived from empirical measurements, often spectroscopic shifts of probe molecules, and are used to correlate and predict solvent effects on chemical reactions and physical processes. Examples include the Dimroth-Reichardt ET parameter and the Z-value.",
