Ten new macrocyclic polyether-diester compounds containing a pyridine subcyclic unit substituted in the 4 position with chloro or methoxy groups have been prepared. These compounds along with their unsubstituted pyridine analogues form strong complexes with alkylammonium and some metal cations. Complexation with alkylammonium and potassium cations was accompanied by significant chemical-shift changes in the /sup 1/H NMR spectra. Relative free energies of activation (..delta..G/sup not equal to/) for the dissociation of the alkylammonium complexes were determined from their temperature-dependent /sup 1/H NMR spectra. Complexes of the methoxy-substituted ligands with all the alkylammonium ions studied had a greater ..delta..G/sup not equal to/ than those of the chloro-substituted ligands. Formation constants as well as ..delta..H and T..delta..S values were determined by a calorimetric technique for the reaction of Na/sup +/, K/sup +/, Rb/sup +/, Ag/sup +/, NH/sub 4//sup +/, and Ba/sup 2 +/ with the ligands of 18 ring members containing pyridine and 4-chloropyridine subcyclic groups. The complexes formed between the alkali metal cations and these ligands were almost as stable as those formed with 18-crown-6 and pyridino-18-crown-6 (1). The pyridino ligands were also found to be effective carriers of Ag/sup +/ across a CHCl/sub 3/ liquid membrane separating aqueous phases.
