Complex formation of Ag+ with polyether 18-crown-6

The complex formation of Ag⁺ with polyether 18-crown-6 (18C6) and their solvation have been studied using calorimetric and potentiometric methods in H₂O-EtOH solvents in wide range of ethanol concentration. The standard enthalpies of dissolution AgNO₃, AgClO₄ and 18C6 in aqueous-ethanol solvents are obtained. The stability of a complex [Ag18C6]⁺ grows with increasing the EtOH content a solvent. Using the method based on the thermodynamic characteristics of solvation of metal-ion, ligand and complex-ion the interpretation of the results has been given.

NMR study of the stoichiometry,stability and exchange kinetics of complexation reaction between Pb2+ ion and 18-crown-6 in binary acetonitrile-water mixtures

Proton NMR was used to study the complexation reaction between lead ion and 18-crown-6 in a number of binary acetonitrile-water mixtures. Formation constant for the resulting 11 complexes in different solvent mixtures was determined by computer fitting of the chemical shift-mole ratio data. There is an inverse relationship between the complex stability and amount of water in the mixed solvent. The dissociative kinetics of the complex was studied by proton line-shape analysis. The Arrhenius plots showed a distinct isokinetic temperature at about 25°C at which the decomplexation rate is more or less independent of the solvent composition. the complexation rate and the activation parameters E _a , H and S, for the exchange have been determined and found to be strongly solvent dependent. There is actually a linear relationship between the mole fraction of acetonitrile in the mixed solvent and logarithm of the stability constant as well as activation parameters.

Nuclear magnetic resonance study of the ligand interchange of Ba2+-18-crown-6 complex in methanol solution

Exchange kinetics of Ba²⁺-18-crown-6 complex in deuterated methanol solution was studied by proton NMR line-shape analysis of a series of solutions containing equal population of free and complexed 18-crown-6, but varying concentration of the macrocycle, at various temperatures. From –33 to 37°C, the predominant mechanism for the exchange of the ligand between the two sites is a bimolecular pathway which is characterized by the following activation parameters:E _a=47±2 kJ-mol^–1; H =45±2 kJ-mol^–1; S =–8±4 J-mol^–1-K^–1. However, the contribution of a dissociative mechanism with activation parametersE _a=36±5 kJ-mol^–1, H =33±5 kJ-mol^–1 and S =104±18 J-mol^–1-K^–1 becomes more important at higher temperatures.     

Conductance study of some transition and heavy metal complexes with 1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 in binary acetonitrile-dimethylsulfoxide mixtures

A conductance study of the interaction between cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium, and lead ions with 1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 in different acetonitrile-dimethylsulfoxide mixtures has been carried out at various temperatures. The formation constants of the resulting 11 complexes were determined from the molar conductance-mole ratio data and found to vary in the order Zn²⁺2+2+2+2+2+. The enthalpy and entropy of complexation reactions were determined from the temperature dependence of the formation constants. A linear relationship is observed between the log K_f of different complexes and mole fraction of acetonitrile in the solvent mixtures. The TS vs. H plot of all thermodynamic data obtained shows a fairly good linear correlation indicating the existence of an enthalpy-entropy compensation in the complexation reactions.     

A Polarographic Study of Tl+, Pb2+ and Cd2+ Complexes with Aza-18-crown-6 and Dibenzopyridino-18-crown-6 in some Binary Mixed Non-aqueous Solvents

The complexation of Tl⁺, Pb²⁺and Cd²⁺ cations by macrocyclic ligands, aza-18-crown-6 (L1) and dibenzopyridino-18-crown-6 (L2) was studied in some binary mixtures of methanol (MeOH), n-propanol (n-PrOH), nitromethane (NM) and acetonitrile (AN) with dimethylformamide (DMF) at 22 °C using DC (direct current) and differential pulse polarographic techniques (DPP). The stoichiometry and stability constants of the complexes were determined by monitoring the shifts in half-waves or peak potentials of the polarographic waves of metal ions against the ligand concentration. In all of the solvent systems, the stability of the resulting 1:1 complexes was found to be L1 > L2. The selectivity order of the L2 ligand for the cations was found to be Pb²⁺ > Tl⁺ > Cd²⁺ and the selectivity of the L1 ligand for Pb²⁺ ion was greater than that of Tl⁺ ion. The results show that the stability of the complexes depends on the nature and composition of the mixed solvents. There is an inverse relationship between the stability constants of the complexes and the amount of dimethylformamide in the mixed solvent systems.

Complete structural characterization of dibenzo-18-crown-6·2 CH₃NO₂ and dibenzo-18-crown-6·2 CH₃CN have been carried out, including location and refinement of the methyl hydrogen atoms. Dibenzo-18-crown-6·2 CH₃NO₂ is monoclinic,P2₁/c, with (at –150°C)a=9.573(2),b=14.636(2),c=33.471(7) Å, =93.77(2)°, andD _calc=1.37 g cm^–3 forZ=8. Interactions between the solvent methyl groups and the crown ethers and other solvent nitro groups associate the 1 : 2 complexes into polymeric chains alongb. The acetonitrile adduct exists as discreet 1 : 2 complexes in the solid state with C–H...O interactions exlusively to the ether. This complex is triclinic,P 1, with (at –150°C)a=9.458(6),b=9.570(5),c=14.404(5) Å, =73.18(4), =79.85(5), =66.82(6)°, andD _calc=1.28 g cm^–3 forZ=2.

Density, Excess Volumes, and Partial Volumes of the Binary Systems of Dimethyl Sulfoxide + Ethyl Acrylate, Butyl Acrylate, Methyl Methacrylate, and Styrene at 298.15 K

Densities of the binary systems of dimethyl sulfoxide with ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, and styrene have been measured as a function of the composition at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure using an Anton Paar DMA 5000 oscillating U-tube densimeter. The calculated excess volumes were correlated with the Redlich–Kister equation and with a series of Legendre polynomials. The excess volumes are negative for the four binaries, probably as a result of the large dipole moment of DMSO, becoming smaller as the monomer becomes more branched or longer, and the dipole moment per monomer unit becomes larger.     

Volumetric Properties of the Binary Systems of Dimethyl Sulfoxide with Methacrylic Acid,Vinyl Acetate,Butyl Methacrylate,and Allyl Methacrylate at 298.15 K

Densities of the binary systems of dimethyl sulfoxide with methacrylic acid, vinyl acetate, butyl methacrylate, and allyl methacrylate have been measured as a function of the composition, at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure, using an Anton Paar DMA 5000 oscillating U-tube densimeter. The calculated excess molar volumes were correlated with the Redlich–Kister equation and with a series of Legendre polynomials. The excess molar volumes are negative for the four binary systems, probably as a result of the large dipole moment of the solvent, and become smaller as the monomer becomes more branched or longer. Methacrylic acid exhibits substantially larger negative excess molar volumes, probably due to hydrogen bonding with the solvent. The system dimethyl sulfoxide with butyl methacrylate presents near ideal behavior.     

Synthesis and Characterization of One-dimensional Dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 Complexes with M2[Cd(mnt)2] (M = Na, K)

Two supramolecular crown ether complexes [Na(DC18C6-A)(H₂O)]{[Na(DC18C6-A)][Cd(mnt)₂]} (1) and [K(DC18C6-A)]₂[Cd(mnt)₂] (2) (DC18C6-A = cis-syn-cis-dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6, isomer A; mnt = maleonitriledithiolate) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy and X-ray single crystal diffraction. Complex 1 is composed of one [Na(DC18C6-A)(H₂O)]⁺ complex cation and one {[Na(DC18C6-A)][Cd(mnt)₂]}⁻ complex anion and displays an infinite chain-like structure through N–Na–N interactions.

An NMR study of the stoichiometry and stability of lithium ion complexes with 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5 an 18-crown-6 in binary Acetonitrile-Nitrobenzene mixtures

Proton NMR spectroscopy was used to study the complexation reaction between lithium ion and 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5 and 18-crown-6 in a number of binary acetonitrile-nitrobenzene mixtures. In all cases the exchange between free and complexed crowns was fast on the NMR time scale and only a single population average¹H signal was observed. Formation constants of the resulting 1:1 complexes in different solvent mixtures were determined by computer fitting of the chemical shift-mole ratio data. There is an inverse relationship between the complex stability and the amount of acetonitrile in the mixed solvent. It was found that, in all solvent mixtures used, 15-crown-5 forms the most stable complex with Li⁺ ion in the series.

Solvent isotope effects on the complexation and exchange kinetics of Tl(I), K and Na with 18-crown-6 by competitive NMR spectroscopy: Competition between homo- and heterobimolecular cations exchange

The thermodynamic properties of complexation and exchange kinetics of thallium by 18-crown-6 have been studied by thallium NMR spectroscopy. Effects of solvent isotope, counterion (ClO₄⁻ and NO₃⁻) and presence of competitive cations, such as Na⁺ and K⁺, on the exchange characteristics of the system have been considered. The obvious relationships between the effects of D₂O-H₂O solvent isotope on the thermodynamic properties and activation parameters of complexation have been investigated. In the absence of competitor cations, the mechanism of thallium exchange is unimolecular decomplexation and in the presence of competitor cations, homobimolecular cation exchange is the predominant mechanism at low concentrations of the ligand. At higher concentrations of the ligand, the measured rate constants show that the complexation/decomplexation process obeys a heterobimolecular cation interchange mechanism. The rate constants ratios (k_D2O/k_H2O < 1) for unimolecular mechanisms also show an inverse solvent isotope effect.     

Conductance Study of the Thermodynamics of Tl+ ion Complexes with Different 18-Membered Crown Ethers in Binary Dimethylformamide-Acetonitrile Mixtures

A conductance study of the interactionbetween Tl⁺ ion and 18-crown-6 (18C6),dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DC18C6), benzo-18-crown-6(B18C6), diaza-18-crown-6 (DA18C6),dibenzyldiaza-18-crown-6 (DBzDA18C6) andhexaaza-18-crown-6 (HA18C6) indimethylformamide-acetonitrile mixtures was carriedout at various temperatures. The formation constantsof the resulting 1 : 1 complexes were determined fromthe molar conductance-mole ratio data and found tovary in the order HA18C6 > DA18C6 > DBzDA18C6 >18C6 > DC18C6 > B18C6. The enthalpy and entropy ofthe complexation reactions were determined from thetemperature dependence of the formation constants.     

Competitive Potentiometric Study of the Thermodynamics of Complexation of Some Transition and Heavy Metal Ions with Dibenzopyridino-18-crown-6 in Methanol using Ag+ Ion as a Probe

The complexation of dibenzopyridino-18-crown-6 with some transition and heavy metal ions in methanol solution at various temperatures was studied by a competitive potentiometric method using a Ag⁺/Agelectrode system. The stoichiometry and stability of the resulting complexes were computed by the MINIQUAD program. The stability of the resulting complexes varied in the order Ag⁺ > Pb²⁺ > Tl⁺ > Cu²⁺ > Cd²⁺ > Zn²⁺. The enthalpy and entropy of the resulting 1:1 complexeswere evaluated from the temperature dependence of the stability constants.The complexes of all cations were enthalpy-stabilized but entropy-destabilized,except for Ag⁺ and Pb²⁺ ions,which were also entropy-stabilized.     

Solvent effects on extraction of potassium picrate with benzo-18-crown-6. A new equation for the determination of ion-pair formation of crown ether-metal salt complexes in water

In order to determine the ion-pair formation constant of a crown ether-metal salt 1:1:1 complex in water, an equation is derived from regular solution theory and its predictions are verified experimentally by the solvent extraction method using benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6), potassium picrate (KA), and various diluents of low dielectric constant. The distribution constants of B18C6 itself and the overall extraction constants of KA with B18C6 were determined at 25±0.2°C. The distribution constants of the neutral K(B18C6)A complex were calculated from these data. The literature value for the complex-formation constant of K(B18C6)⁺ in water and the ion-pair formation constant (K _K(B18C6)A ) for K(B18C6)A in water determined in this study were log K _K(B18C6)A =3.12±0.23 at 25°C). The distribution behavior of B18C6 and K(B18C6)A is explained in terms of regular solution theory. The molar volumes V (cm³·mol^–1) and solubility parameters (cal^1/2-cm^–3/2) are as follows: V _B18C6 =249±36; V _K(B18C6)A =407±56; _B18C6 = 11.5 ± 0.5; and _K(B18C6)A = 11.5 ± 0.5.     

Conductance Study of the Thermodynamics of Complexation of K+, Rb+, Cs+ and Tl+ Ions with Dibenzo-24-crown-8 in Binary Acetonitrile–Nitromethane Mixtures

The complexation reactions between dibenzo-24-crown-8 (DB24C8) and K⁺, Rb⁺, Cs⁺ and Tl⁺ ions were studied conductometrically in different acetonitrile–nitromethane mixtures at various temperatures. The formation constants of the resulting 1:1 complexes were calculated from the computer fitting of the molar conductance–mole ratio data at different temperatures. At 25 °C and in all solvent mixtures used, the stability of the resulting complexes varied in the order Tl⁺ > K⁺ > Rb⁺ > Cs⁺. The enthalpy and entropy changes of the complexation reactions were evaluated from the temperature dependence of formation constants. It was found that the stability of the resulting complexes increased with increasing nitromethane in the solvent mixture. The TΔS° vs. ΔH° plot of all thermodynamic data obtained shows a fairly good linear correlation indicating the existence of enthalpy–entropy compensation in the complexation reactions.     

Complex formation of 2,2-diphenyl-2H-benzo[f]chromene containing the aza-18-crown-6-ether fragment in the polymeric layer

The synthesis of 2,2-diphenyl-2H-benzo[f]chromene containing the aza-18-crown-6-ether fragment was described. Its complex formation with alkaline-earth metal ions in dibutyl phthalate and the polymeric gelatin film was investigated. The treatment of the layers containing the ionophore mentioned with aqueous solutions of the corresponding salts in the presence of NaBPh₄ as the phase transfer catalyst results in the extraction of the metal cation into the polymeric layer due to complex formation with crown-containing benzo[f]chromene. The complex formation is accompanied by changes in the spectroscopic characteristics of chromene in the closed and open forms and an increase in the lifetime of the merocyanine form. The effects obtained depend on the metal cation concentration in a solution and the time of layer treatment.     

A Polarographic Study of Tl + , Pb 2 and Cd 2+ Complexes with Dicyclohexano-18-Crown-6 in Some Binary Mixed Solvents

The complexes of Tl⁺, Pb²⁺ and Cd²⁺ cations with the macrocyclic ligand, dicyclohexano-18-crown-6\linebreak(DC18C6) were studied in water/methanol (H₂₊O/MeOH), water/1-propanol (H₂₊O/1-PrOH), water/acetonitrile (H₂₊O/AN), water/dimethylformamide (H₂₊O/DMF), dimethylformamide/acetonitrile (DMF/AN), dimethylformamide/methanol (DMF/MeOH), dimethylformamide/1-propanol (DMF/1-PrOH) and dimethylformamide/nitromethane (DMF/NM) mixed solvents at 22 °C using differential pulse polarography (DPP), square wave polarography and conductometry. In general, the stability of the complexes was found to decrease with increasing concentration of water in aqueous/non-aqueous mixed solvents with an inverse relationship between the stability constants of the complexes and the concentration of DMF in non-aqueous mixed solvents. The results show that the change in stability of DC18C6.Tl⁺, vs the composition of solvent in DMF/AN and DMF/NM mixed solvents is apparently different from that in DMF/MeOH and DMF/1-PrOH mixed solvents. While the variation of stability constants of the DC18C6.Tl⁺ and DC18C6.Pb²⁺ complexes vs the composition of H₂₊O/AN mixed solvents is monotonic, an anomalous behavior was observed for variations of log K_f vs the composition of H₂₊O/1-PrOH and H₂₊O/MeOH mixed solvents. The selectivity order of the DC18C6 ligand for the cations was found to be Pb²⁺ > Tl⁺ > Cd²⁺.
