N2 - Taft and Kamlet's α-scale of solvent hydrogen bond donation ability is reexamined with regard to its correlations with three widely used polarity scales: Dimroth and Reichardt's ET(30), Kosower's Z and Mayer's AN, as well as with the αm values of the solvents when present as monomeric solutes. The correlation with ET serves to extend the solvent α-scale according to the expression: {Mathematical expression} where s, b, a, d, π*, δ, and β have their usual meanings in the context of the Taft and Kamlet scales.
