Hj. Buschmann et al., PROTONATION OF DIAZA-CROWN ETHERS AND CRYPTANDS IN AQUEOUS-SOLUTION STUDIED BY MEANS OF POTENTIOMETRIC AND CALORIMETRIC TITRATIONS, Journal of coordination chemistry, 31(4), 1994, pp. 347-352
Protonation of diazacrown ethers and cryptands in water was studied us
ing potentiometric and calorimetric titrations. The potentimetric titr
ations were performed in two different ways. Calculated stability cons
tants from both titrations were in good agreement with each other. Val
ues of stability constants and reaction enthalpies give further insigh
t into the structures of the mono- and bisprotonated ligands in soluti
on.
