Abstract	Transmission of substituent effects through 5-membered heteroaromatic rings is investigated theoretically at the RHF/6-31+G^* and B3LYP/6-31+G^* levels using the equilibria for the OH^- addition to five-membered heteroaromatic aldehydes (5MHA). The transmission efficiency (S) in 5MHA(A) increases in the order NH > O > S > PH but the order exactly reverses in 5MHA(T^- ). This is originated by the delocalizability of the πlone-pair on Y, n _π(Y). A better correlation is obtained with σ_p than with σ_p^- in the Hammett plots with positive slope, ρ_Z > 0, indicating that the substituent (Z) effects are not transmitted by a direct conjugation. The magnitude of ρ_Z for Y=NH is the largest among the heteroaromatic systems, which is consistent with the largest transmission efficiency change ( ΔS). The equilibria for the addition processes are favorable in the gas phase ( ΔG° < 0), which reverses to unfavorable in aqueous solution ( ΔG° > 0) due to the relatively large solvation energy of OH^- in the initial state in aqueous solution. The orders of ΔG° and ρ_Z in the gas phase are almost maintained in solution.
