Title: Study of formation equilibria of the complexes of some metal cations with polyoxa macrocyclic ligands

Journal Article · · Anal. Lett.; (United States)

The complexes formed by the Na/sup +/, K/sup +/, Rb/sup +/, Ca/sup 2 +/, UO/sub 2//sup 2 +/, and Ag/sup +/ cations with the macrocyclic polyethers 18-crown-6, benzo-15-crown-5, and dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 are investigated. The stability constants of these complexes have been determined potentiometrically in (90% vol.) ethanol-water solutions at 25/sup 0/C and an ionic strength ..mu.. = 0.1 (achieved with tetrabutylammonium perchlorate). The stability of the investigated complexes was interpreted in terms of caging the metal cation into the cavity of the macrocyclic ligand, an effect which depends on the ratio of the diameter of the complexed cation over the diameter of the cavity of the complexing ligand.
