Hj. Buschmann et al., COMPLEX-FORMATION BETWEEN ALKALI AND ALKALINE-EARTH CATIONS AND CROWN-ETHERS AND CRYPTANDS IN AQUEOUS-SOLUTION, Journal of coordination chemistry, 39(3-4), 1996, pp. 293-298
The complexation of alkali and alkaline earth cations in aqueous solut
ion by crown ethers, diaza crown ethers and cryptands has been studied
using pH-metric, calorimetric and competitive calorimetric titrations
. Use of different experimental techniques makes it possible for the f
irst time to obtain a large number of stability constants and thermody
namic parameters for complexation between these cations and ligands.
