The kinetics of dissociation of (18-crown-6, Na/sup +/)/sup 1/ in propylene carbonate (PC), acetonitrile (AN), pyridine (PY), and acetone (AC) have been determined by /sup 23/Na NMR. Two mechanisms of exchange, namely unimolecular dissociative and bimolecular, have been shown to be in competition in the first three solvents. In acetone, the exchange mechanism is almost exclusively unimolecular. The activation parameters for the unimolecular exchange have been determined in all four solvents. /Delta/H/sub uni//sup /double dagger// follows the trend AN < AC < PY /approx equal/ PC. A compensation effect between /Delta/H/sup /double dagger// and /Delta/S/sup /double dagger// was observed. As a result, /Delta/G/sub 300K//sup /double dagger// is in the range 50-58 kJ/center dot/mol/sup /minus/1/ (AC and PY, respectively). No direct relationship between the Gutmann donicity number and /Delta/G/sup /double dagger// or /Delta/H/sup /double dagger// could be established, showing that several factors, including conformational rearrangement of the ligand and reorganization of the solvent cage, contribute to the barrier of exchange. The activation parameters were also determined for the bimolecular exchange mechanism in PC: /Delta/H/sub bi//sup /double dagger// = 35 /plus minus/ 1 kJ/center dot/mol/sup /minus/1/ and /Delta/S/sub bi//sup /double dagger// = /minus/16 /plus minus/ 3 J/center dot/K/sup /minus/1//center dot/mol/sup /minus/1/.
