Abstract

The stability constants,Ksof monensin complexes with Li+, Na+, K+ and Cs+ ions were studied by a competitive polarographic method using the Tl+/Tl(Hg) redox couple as a sensitive electrochemical probe. TheKsvalues are strongly influenced by the solvents (acetonitrile, propionitrile, acetone, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methyl pyrolidinone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide, N,N-diethylformamide and N,N-diethylacetamide were used in experiments) and vary inversely with the Gutmann donicity scale. Molecular mechanics computations revealed the probable structures of the complexes.
