Abstract
The formation of molecular complexes between 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) and aza-substituted macrocycles diaza-18-crown-6 (DA18C6), tetraaza-14-crown-4 (TA14C4) and cryptand C222 in 1,2-dichloroethane solution was investigated spectrophotometrically and conductometrically. The mole ratio and continuous variations studies based on both physicochemical techniques employed clearly revealed the formation of both 1:1 and 2:1 (TNP:macrocycle) adducts in solution. Formation of the resulting complexes was also confirmed by 1H NMR and IR spectroscopic studies. Formation constants of the resulting complexes were evaluated from computer fitting of the corresponding mole ratio data. Stability of the resulting complexes was found to vary in the order C222 ≈ TA14C4 > DA18C6.
