Abstract

The ratio of stability constants for 14-membered macrocyclic vs. open-chain tetrathia complexes of NiII in nitromethane is only 180, whereas the corresponding ratio for tetramine complexes in water is 106.4, lending support to the hypothesis that (in addition to contributions from configurational entropy) the differing degree of ligand solvation by hydrogen bonding in water is a major source of the macrocyclic effect.
