Abstract
The conductance behavior of potassium tetraphenylboride and of sodium and potassium tetraphenylborides complexed by macroheterobicycles was studied in tetrahydrofuran over a temperature range of −70 to +20°C. Stokes' radii of potassium and of alkaline cryptates were compared with ionic radii. The conductance data were analyzed by a more careful method than that usually used for this solvent. This leads to an interpretation of the physical meaning of the distance parameter in agreement with Bjerrum's concept for the distinction between short- and long-range electrostatic interactions.
