Abstract

133Cs NMR spectroscopy was used to determine the stoichiometry and stability of the Cs + ion complex with dibenzo-21-crown-7 (DB21C7) in acetonitrile-dimethylsulfoxide (96.5:3.5, w/w) and nitromethane-dimethylsulfoxide (96.5:3.5, w/w) mixtures. A competitive 133Cs NMR technique was also employed to probe the complexation of Na +, K +, Rb +, Ag +, Tl +, NH 4 +, Mg 2+, Ba 2+, Hg 2+, Pb 2+ and UO 2 2+ ions with DB21C7 in the same solvent systems. All the resulting 1:1 complexes in nitromethane-dimethylsulfoxide were more stable than those in acetonitrile-dimethylsulfoxide solution. In both solvent systems, the stability of the resulting complexes was found to vary in the order Rb + > K + ≈ Ba 2+ > Tl + > Cs + > NH 4 + ≈ Pb 2+ > Ag + > UO 2 2+ > Hg 2+ > Mg 2+ > Na +.
