Abstract
Complexation of the cesium ion with the macrocyclic ligands: dibenzo-24-crown-8 (DB24C8), dicyclohexano-24-crown-8 (DC24C8) and dibenzo-30-crown-10 (DB30C10) was studied in binary acetonitrile-nitromethane mixtures by 133Cs NMR spectroscopy. The 133Cs chemical shift data indicated that the cesium cation forms 1:1 cation:ligand complexes with DB24C8 and DB30C10 but forms 2:1, 1:1 and 1:2 cation:ligand complexes with DC24C8 in acetonitrile-nitromethane mixtures. The formation constants of the complexes were calculated from the computer fitting of the chemical shift mole ratio data. The results show that the complex formation constants with the Cs+ cation vary in the order DC24C8>DB24C8∼DB30C10. It was found that the stability of the resulting complexes increases with increasing nitromethane concentration in the solvent mixture.
