Donor numberFor number of egg/sperm donors, see Donor sibling registry Additional recommended knowledgeIn chemistry a donor number or DN is a qualitative measure of Lewis basicity. A donor number is defined as the negative enthalpy value for the 1:1 adduct formation between a Lewis base and the standard Lewis acid SbCl5 (antimony pentachloride), in dilute solution in the noncoordinating solvent 1,2-dichloroethane with a zero DN. The units are kilocalories per mole for historical reasons.[1] The donor number is a measure of the ability of a solvent to solvate cations and Lewis acids The method was developed by V. Gutmann in 1976.[2] Likewise Lewis acids are characterized by acceptor numbers. Typical solvent values are:[citation needed]
