[Li-7] NMR measurements were used to determine the stoichiometry and stabil
ity of Li+ complexes with 18-crown-6 and dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 in nitrome
thane and acetonitrile solutions. A competitive [7Li] NMR technique was als
o employed to probe the complexation of Ba2+. Pb2+. Cd2+, and UO22+ ions wi
th the same crown ethers-solvent systems. All the resulting 1 : 1 complexes
were more stable in nitromethane than acetonitrile solution. In all cases.
the stability of both crown complexes in nitromethane and acetonitrile var
ied in the order Pb2+ > Ba2+ > Li+ > Cd2+ > UO22+.
