Density function theory calculations are employed to study the interaction of amines bearing different numbers of alkyl substituents of different sizes on the nitrogen atom with sulfuric and methanesulfonic acids. The proton affinities of the studied amines are calculated, and it is shown that the higher the value is, the more probable is its protonation. The most stable structures of the ion pairs resulting from the acid-base interaction are obtained and characterized. The geometric parameters of the ion pairs and the characteristics derived from the NBO and QTAIM analysis show that there are hydrogen bonding interactions between the cation and the anion. The hydrogen bonding character of the ion pairs and the strength of the interaction between the ions strongly depend on the nature of the cation itself. The interaction between the ions in the ion pairs weakens with the increase in the cation size. The trend of change in the structural parameters of the H-bonds and energetic characteristics in the cation series for the studied ion pairs is not dependent on the nature of the anion.
