For
Brønsted bases
, the tendency of a compound to act as hydron
(proton
) acceptor. The basicity of a chemical species
is normally expressed by the acidity
of the conjugate acid (see conjugate acid–base pair
). For Lewis bases it relates to the association
constants of Lewis adducts
and π-adducts
.
