Abstract: | From conductometric and UV-VIS spectrophotometric studies of the reaction between 18-crown-6 (L) and dichloropicric acid (HA) in dry and water saturated 1,2-dichloroethane, it has been concluded that formation of a 1:1 homoconjugate HA2– accompanies the simple protonation of L, viz, L+HALH+A– and L+2HALH+HA2–. The electrolytes LH+A– and LH+HA2– are extensively, or practically completely dissociated in both solvents under the experimental conditions. The specie LH+A– appears to be a contact ion pair in DCE. The stability constant of HA2– in the dry solvent, 5.7×103 mol–1-cm3, is some 102.4 times that in propylene carbonate reflecting the difference in H-bond accepting capacity of the two solvents. Hydration of HA, A– and HA2– in wet dichloroethane is negligible or slight. As expected, LH+ is rather strongly hydrated, the ratio of the hydration constants of LH+ and L being about 1×101. |
