冠醚与金属离子配位作用的扩环效应

在冠醚与阳离子配位作用的热力学性质研究中，含苯并冠醚与金属离子配伍作用的能力低于母体冠醚[1]．一般认为，这是由于苯环的吸电子效应降低了邻近二个供电氧原子的电荷密度所致，而很少注意引入亚甲基降低苯环的吸电子效应对冠醚配伍作用的影响．我们近来的研究表明，在较阶队骨格冠醚分子中引入额外的亚甲基，与母体冠醚相比，对于键和钠离子具有高度的选择性．这对于设计和合成具有高选择性的功能冠醚，可作为一个较有力的。具［2-4］．为了进一步探索在给定供电氧原子的情况下，冠醚的扩环效应，我们研究了含二苯并冠醚（化合物I-m）…

Rign-enlargement Effects upon Cation Complexation with Crown Ether

Calorimetric Titrations in anhydrous acetonitrile at 298.15K have been performed to give the complex stability constants and thermodynamic properties for the complexation reactions of sodium thiocyanate and potassium thiocyanate with dibenzo-18-crown-6(Ⅰ), dibenzo-20-crown-6 (Ⅱ) and dibenzo-22-crown-6(Ⅲ ). The complex stability constanta, reaction enthalpies and (entropies were calculated directly by using calorimeter connected to an CA-033 microcomputer. Data analyses assuming 1:1 stoichiometry were sussessfully applied to all of the crown ether-cation combinations employed. The thermodynamic parameters obtained and examination of CPK molecular models reveal that the less-symmetrical arrangement of donor oxygen induced by increasing methylene in dibenzo-18-crown-6 molecule and lead to an unfavorable conformation for complexation compared with parent crown ether. The complex stability constants are lower than those of dibenzo-18-crown-6(Ⅰ) for the ligands (Ⅱ ) and (Ⅲ) with Na+ and K+ but the relative cation selectivity for K+/Na+ are increased respectively. The effects of molecular structure of benzo crown ether and cation diameter upon complex stability are discussed from a viewpoint of thermodynamics.
