Abstract
The complexation reactions between Ag+, Hg2+ and Pb2+ metal cations with aza-18-crown-6 (A18C6) were studied in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)–water (H2O) binary mixtures at different temperatures using the conductometric method. The conductance data show that the stoichiometry of the complexes in most cases is 1:1(ML), but in some cases 1:2 (ML2) complexes are formed in solutions. A non-linear behaviour was observed for the variation of log K f of the complexes vs. the composition of the binary mixed solvents. Selectivity of A18C6 for Ag+, Hg2+ and Pb2+ cations is sensitive to the solvent composition and in some cases and in certain compositions of the mixed solvent systems, the selectivity order is changed. The values of thermodynamic parameters (ΔH c o , ΔS c o ) for formation of A18C6–Ag+, A18C6–Hg2+ and A18C6–Pb2+ complexes in DMSO–H2O binary systems were obtained from temperature dependence of stability constants and the results show that the thermodynamics of complexation reactions is affected by the nature and composition of the mixed solvents.
