Abstract

Proton NMR was used to study the complexation reaction of Rb+ ion with 18-crown-6 (18C6) in a number of binary dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)–nitrobenzene (NB) mixtures at different temperatures. In all cases, the exchange between free and complexed 18C6 was fast on the NMR time scale and only a single population average 1H signal was observed. The formation constants of the resulting 1:1 complexes in different solvent mixtures were determined by computer fitting of the chemical shift mole ratio data. There is an inverse relationship between the complex stability and the amount of DMSO in the solvent mixtures. The enthalpy and entropy values for the complexation reaction were evaluated from the temperature dependence of formation constants. In all solvent mixtures studied, the resulting complex is enthalpy stabilized but entropy destabilized. The ∆H° versus T∆S° plot of all thermodynamic data obtained shows a fairly good linear correlation indicating the existence of enthalpy–entropy compensation in the complexation reaction.
