Abstract
Acidity of Brønsted acids is explained in terms of the electrostatic potentials of the corresponding conjugate bases. The electrostatic potential distribution on the zero-flux surface of the strongest isolable carborane anions is seen to provide a good measure of their acidities. Increasing value of the lowest minimum in the electrostatic potential is observed to be a signature of increasing acidity.
