Core-ionization energies have been measured for SF(6) (S 2p), SF(5)SF(5) (S 2p), SF(5)Br (S 2p and Br 3d), and SF(5)CF(3) (S 2p and C 1s). These results, together with others that establish correlations between core-ionization energies and Pauling electronegativities, make it possible to assign group electronegativities to SF(5) and CF(3). This method gives electronegativities for these groups comparable to that of bromine, whereas analysis of the effect of these groups on acidity indicates electronegativities comparable to that of fluorine. Other methods of estimating electronegativity fall between these extremes. These disparities can be understood in part as reflecting the effects of polarizibility of the substituent, which tends to lower both the core-ionization energy and the deprotonation energy, making the electronegativity appear to be less in one case and more in the other. In addition, and possibly more important, the core-ionization energies presented here reflect the effect of the group on an adjacent atom, whereas the acidity reflects the effect on a remote atom. It appears that fluorine has a large effect on an adjacent atom but a relatively small effect on a remote atom. By contrast SF(5) and CF(3) have a relatively small effect on an adjacent atom, but this effect falls off only slowly with distance from the substituent. Thus, the effective electronegativities of CF(3) and SF(5) relative to those of the halogens depend on the site at which the molecule is probed as well as on the process that is under consideration.
