Abstract
Stability constants, Kf(LK+) and Kf(LKX) = [LKX]/[L][KX] at 25� in the dipolar aprotic solvents acetone (Me2CO), acetonitrile (MeCN), propylene carbonate (pc), N,N-dimethylformamide (HCONMe2), dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO), as well as in the alcohols, methanol (MeOH), isopropyl alcohol (Pr1OH), and butan -1-ol (BuOH) have been determined, L being bis(4,4'(5')-t-buty1benzo)-18- crown-6 (di(BuBo)-18-cr-6). This crown is considerably more lipophylic than is dibenzo-18-crown-6. Values of Kf(LKX) have been found from values of Kf(LK+), KA(KX) and KA(LKX). Transfer activity coefficients, Me2COγS, have been calculated (based on the Parker proposal that γ(Ph4As+) = γ(BPh4-) between acetone and the various solvents used of K+, Br-, ClO4-, P1- (picrate), LK+, KX, and LKX. It is found that K+ is more strongly solvated in Me2CO than in the other aprotic solvents of low donicity. The reverse is true between Me2CO and HCONMe2 or Me2SO (even after correcting for the Born effect).
