The exchange kinetics of the complexation of the cesium ion with dibenzo-30-crown-10 were studied in nitromethane, acetonitrile, propylene carbonate, and methanol solutions by cesium-133 NMR line-shape analysis. In the last three solvents, when the temperature is below -10/sup 0/C, the predominant mechanism for the exchange of the Cs/sup +/ ion between the solvated and complexed sites is the bimolecular process. In nitromethane solutions, at all temperatures studied, and in propylene carbonate and methanol solutions at -10/sup 0/C, the exchange process proceeds by the dissociation pathway. The activation parameters E/sub a/, ..delta..H*, ..delta..S*, and ..delta..G double dagger for the exchange have been determined. In systems where the exchange mechanism is bimolecular, the free energy barrier for the exchange process appears to be independent of the solvent.
