Abstract
The reaction of 18-crown-6 with aqueous iodine has been monitored by U V and visible spectrophotometry. The stability constant for the reacti on has been determined as well as the spectra for the pure aqueous com plex. This stability constant has been related to other equilibrium co nstants for the complexation of molecular iodine. The relation appears to predict correctly the stability constant for the iodine-water char ge-transfer complex.
