Abstract
The stability constants of the complex[Cs(18C6)]+ (18C6 is 18-crown-6 (L)) in N-butylpyridinium methyl sulfate (I) and of the complex [Cs(18C6)2]+ in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide (II) were measured by using 133Cs NMR spectroscopy at 23°C. It was found that logK(Cs + L) in solvent I is 1.20±0.13 and logK(CsL + L) in solvent IIis 1.18±0.05. For the complex [Cs(18C6)2]+, the dependence of its stability constant on the temperature in the 23–50°C range was obtained and the enthalpy change in the complexation was determined: ΔH(CsL + L)= −47 kJ/mol. It was demonstrated that the enthalpy change is favorable for the formation of [Cs(18C6)2]+, while the entropy change hinders the complexation.
