"Dibasic" means a molecule containind two acid functional groups, such as carboxylic acid. The inductive effect makes the dibasic activator more active than mono-basic activator.

Inductive effect is the electron attraction force between chemical moieties. Inductive effect in flux activator would stabilize the dissociated organic acid, thus enhance the acidity, therefore increase the flux activity.
