Hj. Buschmann et al., Chloroform as solvent for the complex formation of alkaline salts with crown ethers and cryptands, INORG CH C, 4(1), 2001, pp. 53-56
The complex formation between different crown ethers and the cryptand (2 2
2) with the ammonium and alkali ions was studied in chloroform as solvent u
sing calorimetric titrations. From the reaction enthalpies for the complex
formation with 18-crown-6 and the cryptand (2 2 2) as well as from competit
ive reactions between both ligands no influence of ion pairs can be detecte
d within the experimental error, Stability constants of the complexes forme
d could only be obtained in case of the complex formation of Na+ with benzo
-18-crown-6 and of Cs+ with most of the ligands. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science
