Preferred Label : protonation constant;
IUPAC definition : The equilibrium constant KHn for the addition of the nth proton to a charged or uncharged
ligand. The cumulative protonation constant, β H n, is the equilibrium constant for
the formation of H sub i n /i /sub L from nH sup class plus /sup and L. The same
equilibrium constant may be described in several ways, depending on how the ligand,
L, or the acid, has been defined.;
