This work clearly demonstrates that the fluorinated, highly stabilised carbanionic substituent is a new option for controlling the macroscopic property of chemical materials.
Abstract
Installation of a carbanionic substituent, that is strongly stabilised by two (trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl (Tf = SO 2 CF 3 ) groups, into several fluorescence dyes including boron-dipyrromethenes (BODIPYs), fluoresceins, and aminocoumarins has been achieved by the 2,2-bis(triflyl)ethylation reaction of the dye frameworks with highly electrophilic Tf 2 C=CH 2 , followed by neutralisation with NaHCO 3 . Despite the contradiction between water-solubility and lipophilicity, the carbanion-decorated dyes thus obtained showed significant enhancement of not only water-solubility but also lipophilicity. This work clearly demonstrates that the fluorinated, highly stabilised carbanionic substituent is a new option for controlling the macroscopic property of chemical materials.

Experimental and computational approaches to estimate solubility and permeability in drug discovery and development settings

TL;DR: Experimental and computational approaches to estimate solubility and permeability in discovery and development settings are described in this article, where the rule of 5 is used to predict poor absorption or permeability when there are more than 5 H-bond donors, 10 Hbond acceptors, and the calculated Log P (CLogP) is greater than 5 (or MlogP > 415).

A survey of Hammett substituent constants and resonance and field parameters

TL;DR: The Hammett equation has been widely used for the study and interpretation of organic reactions and their mechanisms as mentioned in this paper, and it is astonishing that u constants, obtained simply from the ionization of organic acids in solution, can frequently predict successfully equilibrium and rate constants for a variety of families of reactions in solution.
