Abstract
Far-infrared spectra of sodium and lithium cryptates were observed in several nonaqueous solvents. The spectra are characterized by a broad band whose frequency is independent of the solvent or of the anion and which is assigned to the vibration of the cation in the cryptand cavity. The band frequencies were 234±2, 218±1, 243±3, and 348±1 cm−1 for Na+-C222, Na+-C221, Li+-C221, and Li+-C211 cryptates, respectively. These bands were found to be Raman-inactive, indicating that the cation-ligand interaction is very largely electrostatic in nature.
