Study of complex formation between 18-crown-6 and diaza-18-crown-6 with uranyl cation (UO2 2+) in some binary mixed aqueous and non-aqueous solvents

The complexation reaction between UO₂ ²⁺ cation with macrocyclic ligand, 18-crown-6 (18C6), was studied in acetonitrile–methanol (AN–MeOH), nitromethane–methanol (NM–MeOH) and propylencarbonate–ethanol (PC–EtOH) binary mixed systems at 25 °C. In addition, the complexation process between UO₂ ²⁺ cation with diaza-18-crown-6 (DA18C6) was studied in acetonitrile–methanol (AN–MeOH), acetonitrile–ethanol (AN–EtOH), acetonitrile–ethylacetate (AN–EtOAc), methanol–water (MeOH–H₂O), ethanol–water (EtOH–H₂O), acetonitrile–water (AN–H₂O), dimethylformamide–methanol (DMF–MeOH), dimethylformamide–ethanol (DMF–EtOH), and dimethylformamide–ethylacetate (DMF–EtOAc) binary solutions at 25 °C using the conductometric method. The conductance data show that the stoichiometry of the complexes formed between (18C6) and (DA18C6) with UO₂ ²⁺ cation in most cases is 1:1 [M:L], but in some solvent 1:2 [M:L₂] complex is formed in solutions. The values of stability constants (log K_f) of (18C6 · UO₂ ²⁺) and (DA18C6 · UO₂ ²⁺) complexes which were obtained from conductometric data, show that the nature and also the composition of the solvent systems are important factors that are effective on the stability and even the stoichiometry of the complexes formed in solutions. In all cases, a non-linear relationship is observed for the changes of stability constants (log K_f) of the (18C6 · UO₂ ²⁺) and (DA18C6 · UO₂ ²⁺) complexes versus the composition of the binary mixed solvents. The stability order of (18C6 · UO₂ ²⁺) complex in pure studied solvents was found to be: EtOH > AN ≈ NM > PC ≈ MeOH, but in the case of (DA18C6 · UO₂ ²⁺) complex it was : H₂O > MeOH > EtOH.     

A thermodynamic study of complex formation between dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (DCH18C6) and La3+, UO 22+ , Ag+, and NH 4+ cations in acetonitrile-tetrahydrofuran binary media using conductometric method

The complex formation between La³⁺, UO₂²⁺ Ag⁺, and NH₄⁺ cations and macrocyclic ligand, dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (DCH18C6), was studied in acetonitrile-tetrahydrofuran (AN-THF) binary mixtures at different temperatures using the conductometric method. The results show that with the exception of complexation of the NH₄⁺ cation with DCH18C6 in pure acetonitrile, the stoichiometry of all the complexes is being 1: 1 (M: L). The stability constants of the complexes were determined using a GENPLOT computer program. The nonlinear behavior which was observed for changes of log K _f of the complexes versus the composition of the mixed solvent was discussed in terms of solvent-solvent interaction in their binary solution, which results in changing the chemical and physical properties of the constituent solvents when they mix with one another and, therefore, changing the solvation capacities of the metal cations, crown ether molecules, and even the resulting complexes with changing the mixed solvent composition. The results show that the selectivity of DCH18C6 for the studied cations changes with the composition of the AN-THF binary system. The sequence of stabilities of complexes in an AN-THF binary solution (mol. % AN = 75.0) at 25°C is [(DCH18C6)La)]³⁺ > [(DCH18C6)UO₂]²⁺ > [(DCH18C6)Ag]⁺ ∼ [(DCH18C6)NH₄]⁺, but in the case of other binary systems of AN/THF (mol. % AN = 25.0 and 50.0) is [(DCH18C6)La]⁺ > [(DCH18C6)NH₄]⁺ ∼ [DCH18C6)UO₂]²⁺ > [(DCH18C6)Ag]⁺.

The complexation reactions between Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺ and Sr²⁺ cations with the macrocyclic ligand, benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5), in pure acetonitrile, water, methanol and tetrahydrofuran and also in acetonitrile–water (AN–H₂O) and in methanol–tetrahydrofuran (MeOH–THF) binary mixtures have been studied at different temperatures using conductometric method. The conductance data show that the stoichiometry of the complexes in most cases is 1:1 [ML]. But in the case of Ca²⁺ cation a 1:2 [ML₂] complex is formed in pure THF, which shows that the stoichiometry of the complexes may be changed by the nature of the medium. The values of stability constants of complexes, which were obtained from conductometric data, show that the stability of complexes is affected by the nature and composition of the binary mixed solvents and a non-linear behavior was observed for variation of logK_f of the complexes versus the composition of the solvent systems. The results show that the selectivity order of B15C5 for the metal cations in two AN–H₂O binary solutions (mol% AN = 25.71 and 50.94) at 25 °C is: Mg²⁺ > Sr²⁺ > Ca²⁺. The values of thermodynamic parameters (ΔH _c ⁰ , ΔS _c ⁰ ) for formation of complexes were obtained from temperature dependence of stability constants of complexes using the van’t Hoff plots. The results show that the values and also the sign of these parameters are influenced by the nature and also the composition of the binary mixed solvents.

In the present work the complexation process between UO₂ ²⁺ cation and the macrocyclic ligand, dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) was studied in ethylacetate–dimethylformamide (EtOAc/DMF), ethylacetate–acetonitrile (EtOAc/AN), and ethylacetate–tetrahydrofuran (EtOAc/THF) and ethylacetate–propylencarbonate (EtOAc/PC) binary solutions at different temperatures using the conductometric method. The results show that the stoichiometry of the (DB18C6 . UO₂)²⁺ complex in all binary mixed solvents is 1:1. A non-linear behavior was observed for changes of log K_f of this complex versus the composition of the binary mixed solvents. The stability constant of (DB18C6 . UO₂)²⁺ complex in various neat solvents at 25 °C decreases in order: THF > EtOAc > PC > AN > DMF, and in the binary solvents at 25 °C is: THF–EtOAc > PC–EtOAc > DMF–EtOAc ≈ AN–EtOAc. The values of thermodynamic quantities (?H°_c, ?S°_c) for formation of this complex in the different binary solutions were obtained from temperature dependence of its stability constant and the results show that the thermodynamics of complexation reaction between UO₂ ²⁺ cation and DB18C6 is affected strongly by the nature and composition of the mixed solvents.     

Conductometric study of complexation reaction between 15-crown-5 and Cr3+, Mn2+ and Zn2+ metal cations in pure and binary mixed organic solvents

The stability constants (K_f) for the complexation reactions of Cr³⁺, Mn²⁺ and Zn²⁺ metal cations with macrocyclic ligand, 15-crown-5 (15C5), in acetonitrile (AN), ethanol (EtOH) and also in their binary solutions (AN–EtOH) were determined at different temperatures, using conductometric method. 15C5 forms 1:1 complexes with Cr³⁺, Mn²⁺ and Zn²⁺ cations in solutions. A non-linear behaviour was observed for changes of logK_f of the metal ion complexes versus the composition of the mixed solvent. The order of stability of the metal–ion complexes in pure AN and in a binary solution of AN–EtOH (mol% AN?=?52) at 25?°C was found to be: (15C5Zn)²⁺?>?(15C5·Mn)²⁺?>?(15C5·Cr)³⁺, but in the case of pure EtOH at the same temperature, it changes to: (15C5·Zn)²⁺?>?(15C5·Cr)³⁺?>?(15C5·Mn)²⁺. The results also show that the stability sequence of the complexes in the other binary solutions of AN–EtOH (mol% AN?=?26 and mol% AN?=?76) varies in order: (15C5·Cr)³⁺?~?(15C5·Zn)²⁺?>?(15C5·Mn)²⁺. The values of the standard thermodynamic quantities (ΔH_C°, ΔS_C°) for formation of (15C15-Cr³⁺), (15C5-Mn²⁺) and (15C5-Zn²⁺) complexes were obtained from the temperature dependence of the stability constants and the results show that the thermodynamics of complexation reactions is affected by nature and composition of the solvent systems and in most solution systems, the complexes are enthalpy stabilized but entropy destabilized.     

Determination of the thermodynamic parameters,stoichiometry, and stability constants for complex formation of dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 and 15-crown-5 with Y3+, La3+, and Hg2+ cations in binary solutions

The complexation of Y³⁺, La³⁺, and nd Hg²⁺ cations with macrocyclic ligands, dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (DCH18C6) and 15-crown-5 (15C5) have been studied in acetonitrile (AN)-N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) binary solutions at different temperatures using conductometric method. The conductance data revealed 1: 1 [ML] stoichiometry for most complexes in pure DMF and AN-DMF binary solutions, except for the (DCH18C6-Y³⁺) complex in pure AN (1: 2, [ML₂]). The stability constants of DCH18C6-La³⁺ and 15C5-La³⁺ in pure AN were higher than in pure DMF at all temperatures. Nonlinear behavior was observed for the stability constants of complexes against the composition of AN-DMF binary solutions at all temperatures. The minimum log K _f value for the 15C5-La³⁺ complex in AN-DMF binary solutions was obtained at χ_AN = 0.5, which may be due to negative excess viscosities η^E of AN-DMF mixtures over the whole composition range with a minimum value of χ_AN = 0.5. Moreover, the selectivity order of DCH18C6 and 15C5 for Y³⁺, La³⁺, and Hg²⁺ cations 25°C depended on the AN-DMF ratio. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH _C ⁰ ) for complex formation were obtained from the temperature dependences of the stability constants of the complexes using the van’t Hoff plots, and the standard entropy (ΔS _C ⁰ ) was calculated from the relationship: ΔG _{C, 298.15} ⁰ = ΔH _C ⁰ ? 298.15ΔS _C ⁰ .     

Study of complex formation between La+3, Ce+3 and Y3+ cations with some 18-membered crown ethers in methanol–water and methanol–acetonitrile binary mixtures

The complexation reactions between some rare earth metal cations (Ln; Y³⁺, La³⁺ and Ce³⁺) with 18-crown-6 (18C6), dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (DC18C6), benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6) and decyl-18-crown-6 (Dec18C6), have been studied in methanol–acetonitrile (MeOH–AN) and methanol–water (MeOH–H₂O) binary mixtures using a competitive spectrophotometric method. 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-4-methyl phenol (TAC or L) was used as colorimetric complexant. It was found that the selectivity order of TAC for Ln cations is highly changed with changing the composition of the mixed solvents. Moreover, as the concentration of acetonitrile increases in MeOH–AN binary mixture, the stability of Ln–TAC complexes increases and passes through a maximum at a certain mole fraction of acetonitrile. In addition, the stability of Ln–crown ether complexes increases with increasing the concentration of methanol in MeOH–H₂O and acetonitrile in MeOH–AN binary solutions. A non linear behaviour was observed for variation of stability constants of all complexes versus the composition of the mixed solvents. The results show that 18C6 generally forms more stable complexes with La³⁺ and Ce³⁺ cations than DC18C6 in methanol and MeOH–H₂O binary mixtures, while this sequence is reversed in the methanol-acetonitrile binary mixtures which are rich with respect to acetonitrile.     

Study of Complex Formation Between Dicyclohexano-18-Crown-6 (DCH18C6) with Mg 2+, Ca2+, Sr 2+, and Ba2+ Cations in Methanol–Water Binary Mixtures Using Conductometric Method

The complexation reactions between Mg²⁺,Ca²⁺,Sr²⁺ and Ba²⁺ metal cations with macrocyclic ligand, dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DCH18C6) were studied in methanol (MeOH)–water (H₂O) binary mixtures at different temperatures using conductometric method . In all cases, DCH18C6 forms 1:1 complexes with these metal cations. The values of stability constants of complexes which were obtained from conductometric data show that the stability of complexes is affected by the nature and composition of the mixed solvents. While the variation of stability constants of DCH18C6-Sr ²⁺ and DCH18C6-Ba²⁺versus the composition of MeOH–H₂O mixed solvents is monotonic, an anomalous behavior was observed for variations of stability constants of DCH18C6-Mg²⁺ and DCH18C6-Ca²⁺ versus the composition of the mixed solvents. The values of thermodynamic parameters (ΔH_c°, ΔS_c°) for complexation reactions were obtained from temperature dependence of formation constants of complexes using the van’t Hoff plots. The results show that in most cases, the complexation reactions are enthalpy stabilized but entropy destabilized and the values of thermodynamic parameters are influenced by the nature and composition of the mixed solvents. The obtained results show that the order of selectivity of DCH18C6 ligand for metal cations in different concentrations of methanol in MeOH–H₂O binary system is: Ba²⁺>Sr²⁺>Ca²⁺> Mg²⁺.

The results show that in all cases, the stoichiometry of the complex is 1:1 (ML). The values of formation constant of the complex which were determined using conductometric data, show that the stability of (Ph-N15C5.Y)³⁺ complex in pure solvents at 25?°C changes in the following order: PrOH?>?AN?>?MeOH and in the case of binary mixed solutions at 25?°C it follows the order: AN–DCE?>?AN–PrOH?>?AN–MeOH?>?AN–H₂O. The values of standard thermodynamic quantities (?H _c ^° and ?S _c ^° ) for formation of (Ph-N15C5.Y)³⁺ complex were obtained from temperature dependence of the formation constant using the van’t Hoff plots. The results show that in most cases, the complex is entropy and enthalpy stabilized and these parameters are influenced by the nature and composition of the mixed solvents. In most cases, a non-linear behavior was observed for variation of log K_f of the complex versus the composition of the binary mixed solvents. In all cases, an enthalpy–entropy compensation effect was observed for formation of (Ph-N15C5.Y)³⁺ complex in the binary mixed solvents.     

Study of complex formation between dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 and UO2 2+ cation in some binary mixed non-aqueous solvents using conductometric method

In the present work, the complexation process between UO₂ ²⁺ cation and the macrocyclic ligand, dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (DCH18C6) was studied in ethyl acetate/1,2-dichloroethane (EtOAc/DCE), acetonitrile/1,2-dichloroethane (AN/DCE), methanol/1,2-dichloroethane (MeOH/DCE) and ethanol/1,2-dichloroethane (EtOH/DCE) binary solutions at different temperatures using the conductometric method. The conductance data show that in most cases, the stoichiometry of the complex formed between DCH18C6 and UO₂ ²⁺ cation is 1:1 [M:L], but in some solvent systems also a 1:2 [M:L₂] complex is formed in solutions. The values of stability constant of (DCH18C6·UO₂)²⁺ complex which were obtained from conductometric data, show that the stability of the complex is affected by the nature and also the composition of the solvent system and in all cases, a non-linear behavior is observed for the variation of (log?K _f) of the (DCH18C6·UO₂)²⁺ complex versus the composition of the binary mixed solvents. The values of thermodynamic quantities $ \Updelta H_{c}^{\circ} $ and $ \Updelta S_{c}^{\circ} $ for formation of (DCH18C6·UO₂)²⁺ complex were obtained from temperature dependence of the stability constant using the van’t Hoff plots. The experimental results show that depending on the nature and composition of the solvent systems, the complex is enthalpy stabilized or destabilized, but in most cases, it is stabilized from entropy view point and both thermodynamic parameters are affected by the nature and composition of the binary mixed solutions.     

Study of Kryptofix5 Complexation with La<Superscript>3+</Superscript> Cation in Several Individual and Binary Nonaqueous Solvents Using Conductometric Method

Complexatio of the La³⁺ cation with 1,13-bis(8-quinolyl)-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane(Kryptofix5) was studied in pure solvents acetonitrile (AN), methanol (MeOH), nitrobenzene (NB), tetrahydrofuran (THF), methyl acetate (MeOAC) and in various binary solvent mixtures of AN–MeOH, AN–NB, AN–THF, and AN–MeOAC systems at different temperatures using the conductometric method. The stoichiometry of the complex was found to be 1 : 1 (ML). In all cases, the variation of the log kf with composition of the solvent was non-linear. This behavior is probably due to a change in the structure of these binary mixed solvents as the composition of the medium is varied. The stability order of the complex in pure nonaqueous solvents at 25°C increases in the order: AN > THF > MeOAC > MeOH > NB. The values of thermodynamic data (ΔH _c °,ΔS _c °) formation of (Kryptofix5.La)³⁺ complex are definitely solvent dependent.

The corresponding standard thermodynamic parameters (ΔH_c°, ΔS_c°) were obtained from temperature dependence of the stability constant. The results show that the values and also the sign of these parameters are influenced by the nature and composition of the mixed solvents.

Study of Complex Formation between Kryptofix 21 with La<Superscript>3+</Superscript>, Y<Superscript>3+</Superscript> and Ce<Superscript>3+</Superscript> Cations in Some Binary Mixed Non-Aqueous Solvents Using the Conductometric Method

The complexation reactions between La³⁺, Y³⁺ and Ce³⁺ cations with the macrocyclic ligand, kryptofix 21, were studied in methanol-acetonitrile (MeOH-AN) and methanol-methylacetate (MeOHMeOAc) binary mixed solvent solutions at different temperatures using the conductometric method. The conductance data show that in most solvent systems, the kryptofix 21 forms a 1: 1 [M: L] complex with La³⁺, Y³⁺ and Ce³⁺ metal cations, but in the case of Y³⁺ cation in pure methylacetate, in addition of formation of a 1: 1 [ML] complex, 1: 2 [ML₂] and 1: 3 [ML₃] complexes are formed in solution. In the case of Ce³⁺cation, a 1: 1 [ML] and also a 1: 2 [ML₂] complexes are formed in this solvent system at all studied temperatures. The electrical conductance data in acetonitrile, show that a 1: 1 [ML] and also a 1: 2 [ML₂] complexes are formed between the ligand and La³⁺ and Ce³⁺ metal cations at different temperatures. The stability constants of the 1: 1 [ML] complexes were determined using the conductometric data and a computer program, GENPLOT. A non-monotonic relationship was observed between log_{K f} of the 1: 1 complexes with the composition of the binary solvent solutions which was discussed in term of solvent-solvent interactions and also preferential solvation of the metal cations and the ligand in solutions. The selectivity order of the ligand for the metal cations in MeOH–AN and MeOH–MeOAc binary solvent solutions, at 25°C was found to be: Y³⁺ > La³⁺ > Ce³⁺ and La³⁺ > Y³⁺ > Ce³⁺, respectively. The values of the standard thermodynamic quantities (ΔH _c ^° and ΔS _c ^° ) for formation of the 1: 1 complexes were obtained from temperature dependence of the stability constans of the complexes and the results show that the thermodynamics of the complexation reactions between kryptofix 21 and La³⁺, Y³⁺ and Ce³⁺ cations, is affected by the nature and composition of the mixed solvents systems.

The stability order of (DB24C8.Y)⁺³ complex in pure non-aqueous solvents was found to be: AN > EtOH > MeOH > DMF. A non-linear behaviour was observed for changes of log K_f of (DB24C8.Y)⁺³ complex versus the composition of the binary mixed solvents, which was explained in terms of solvent–solvent interactions and also the heteroselective solvation of the species involved in the complexation reaction. The obtained results show that the stability of (DB24C8.Y)⁺³ complex is sensitive to the mixed solvents composition. The values of thermodynamic parameters (?H°_c and ?S°_c) for formation of (DB24C8.Y)⁺³ complex were obtained from temperature dependence of the stability constant using the van’t Hoff plots. The results show that in most cases, the (DB24C8.Y)⁺³ complex is enthalpy destabilized but entropy stabilized and the values and also the sign of thermodynamic parameters are influenced by the nature and composition of the mixed solvents.     

Thermodynamic study of complexation reactions between 1,7,10,16 Tetra oxa 4,13 diaza cyclo octa decane (Kryptofix22) and Ni<Superscript>2+</Superscript>, Cd<Superscript>2+</Superscript> and Ag<Superscript>+</Superscript> metal cations in some pure and binary mixed non-aqueous solvents using conductometry

The complexation reactions between Ni²⁺, Cd²⁺ and Ag⁺ metal cations with the macrocyclic ligand Kryptofix22 (K22), in pure acetonitrile (AN), ethylacetate (EtOAc), methanol (MeOH) and their binary mixtures have been studied at different temperatures using conductometric method. The obtained results show that in most solvent systems, the stoichiometry of the complexes formed between the macrocyclic ligand and the metal cations is 1: 1 [ML], but in some of the solvent systems, a 1: 2 [ML₂] complex and also [M₂L], [M₂L₂] and [M₂L₃] complexes are formed in solutions. The stability constans of the 1: 1 complexes were obtained using a computer program GENPLOT. A non-liner behavior was observed for changes of logK_f of the 1: 1 complexes versus the composition of AN–EtOAc binary solutions. The stability order of the 1: 1 complexes at 25°C in the binary solvent solution of AN–EtOAc (mol % AN = 50) was found to be: (K22.Ag)⁺ > (K22.Ni)²⁺ > (K22.Cd)²⁺. The obtained values of thermodynamic quantities (ΔH_c⁰,ΔS_c⁰) show that in most of the AN–EtOAc binary solvent solutions, the 1:1 complexation reactions are enthropy stabilized, but from the enthalpy view point, depending on the nature and composition of mixed solvents they are exothermic or athermic.
