Log K/sub n/, ..delta..H/sub n/, and T..delta..S/sub n/ values valid in CH/sub 3/OH at 25/sup 0/C have been determined for the interaction of Na/sup +/, K/sup +/, Cs/sup +/, and Ca/sup 2 +/ with 15-crown-5 and several lariat ethers. The lariat ethers studied are based on both 15-crown-5 and 18-crown-6 frameworks and contain various pendant arms extending from either carbon or nitrogen atoms on the crown framework. In comparable cases, enlarging the ring size from 15 to 18 members resulted in increased stability. The inclusion on the aza-15-crown-5 ring of a pendant arm bound to nitrogen and having an oxygen atom in the 3 position increases complex stability. The inclusion on the aza-15-crown-5 ring of a pendant arm bound to nitrogen and having an oxygen atom in the 3 position increases complex stability about ten-fold for Na/sup +/, K/sup +/, and Ca/sup 2 +/ compared to the crown ether with the same ring structure but lacking a heteroatom in the side arm. Generally, little effect on the log K/sub n/ value is found either by lengthening the pendant arm (and by including an additional donor atom) on the 18-crown-6 compounds or by appending pendant arms having oxygen atoms on the carbon pivot atom of the 15-crown-5 macrocycles. 25 references, 1 figure, 2 tables.
