Ab initio studies on the relative stabilities of neutral and ionic forms of acetic acid-methylamine complex and beta-alanine in various solvents
The preference between neutral and ionic forms of acetic acid-methylamine complex and beta -alanine in solution was studied quantum mechanically. The solvents studied were water, methanol, CH2Cl2, and hexane, representing various polarities.
