<Abstract>Our mission has perceivedand still continuing exceptionalachievement on ¡®<i>Transforming chemistry research in to</i><i> chemistry teaching</i>¡¯. In this course of events we have been able to publish several articles in the area of chemical education. In continuation of this,the present article using a total of 38 amines isone of our successful aftermaths of the importance of nucleophilic solvation of ammonium bond (¡ÔN<SUP>+</SUP>-H in protonated amines.We have explained the significance of nucleophilicsolvation of ammonium bond in protonated aminesin a simple and lucid way using Taft linear polar free energy correlations of p<i>K</i><SUB>a</SUB>¡¯sin aqueous solution and dipole moments in gas phase, in benzene, in cyclohexaneand of pure liquids of several primary, secondary and tertiary amines as a function of Taft polar substituent constants. Our performed Taft correlations showed that the solvation of ammonium bond in protonated aminesthrough ¡ÔN<SUP>+</SUP>-H bond is worth understanding in terms of steric hindrance which is absent in gas phase, in benzeneand in cyclohexane as it imparts its substance in biology.</Abstract>
