Abstract

A conductance study of the interaction between cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium, and lead ions with 1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 in different acetonitrile-dimethylsulfoxide mixtures has been carried out at various temperatures. The formation constants of the resulting 1∶1 complexes were determined from the molar conductance-mole ratio data and found to vary in the order Zn2+<Co2+<Ni2+<Cu2+<Cd2+<Pb2+. The enthalpy and entropy of complexation reactions were determined from the temperature dependence of the formation constants. A linear relationship is observed between the log Kf of different complexes and mole fraction of acetonitrile in the solvent mixtures. The TΔS vs. ΔH plot of all thermodynamic data obtained shows a fairly good linear correlation indicating the existence of an enthalpy-entropy compensation in the complexation reactions.
