The influence of the composition of an aqueous-acetone solvent on the thermodynamic characteristics of complex formation of 18-crown-6 ether with glycine

The heat effects of solution of 18-crown-6 ether were determined calorimetrically over a wide range of water-acetone solvent compositions (298.15 K). The influence of the composition of water-acetone solvents on the enthalpies of complex formation between 18-crown-6 and glycine and solvation of chemical equilibrium participants was studied. It was shown that the factor determining changes in the enthalpy of the reaction was changes in the solvation state of the crown ether.

Thermodynamic characteristics of alanine-18-crown-6 ether complexes in binary water-acetone solvents

The formation of 18-crown-6 ether (18C6) complexes with D,L-alanine (Ala) in mixed wateracetone solvents with 0.0, 0.08, 0.17, 0.22, and 0.30 mole fractions of acetone (T = 298.15 K) was investigated by means of calorimetry. Thermodynamic characteristics of the reaction of the molecular [Ala18C6] complex formation (ΔrG°, ΔrH°, and TΔrS°) were calculated on the basis of calorimetric data. Analysis of solvation contributions of reagents into the enthalpy of the [Ala18C6] formation reaction showed that the changes in the reaction energy when the solvent composition is varied are determined by the changes in the solvate state of 18C6.

The influence of solvation on the formation of Ag+ complexes with 18-crown-6 ether in water-dimethyl sulfoxide solvents

The Gibbs energies of transfer of 18-crown-6 ether from water into water-dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvents (χDMSO = 0.0–0.97 mole fractions) at 298.15 K were determined by the interphase distribution method. Changes in the composition of the aqueous-organic solvent did not cause noticeable changes in the stability of 18-crown-6 ether solvato complexes. Reagent solvation contributions to shifts of complex formation equilibrium between silver(I) and 18-crown-6 ether when water was replaced with dimethyl sulfoxide were analyzed.

Gibbs energies of transferring triglycine from water into H2O-DMSO solvent

The Gibbs energies of transferring triglycine (3Gly, glycyl-glycyl-glycine) from water into mixtures of water with dimethyl sulfoxide (χDMSO = 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15 mole fractions) at 298.15 K are determined from the interphase distribution. An increased dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) concentration in the solvent slightly raises the positive values of ΔtrG○(3Gly), possibly indicating the formation of more stable 3Gly-H2O solvated complexes than ones of 3Gly-DMSO. It is shown that the change in the Gibbs energy of transfer of 3Gly is determined by the enthalpy component. The relationship of 3Gly and 18-crown-6 ether (18C6) solvation’s contributions to the change in the Gibbs energy of [3Gly18C6] molecular complex formation in H2O-DMSO solvents is analyzed, and the key role of 3Gly solvation’s contribution to the change in the stability of [3Gly18C6] upon moving from H2O to mixtures with DMSO is revealed.

Thermochemistry of solvation of 18-crown-6 ether in binary methanol-acetonitrile solvents

Heat effects of the dissolution of 18-crown-6 ether (18C6) over a wide range of compositions of mixed methanol-acetonitrile solvents are determined via calorimetry at 298.15 K. It is found that passing from methanol to acetonitrile to xAN = 0.6 mole fraction is accompanied by a sharp increase in the exothermicity of 18C6 solvation. It is concluded that a further increase in the aprotic component of a binary mixture leads to no appreciable changes in the enthalpy of solvation of the macrocycle.

Calculating the solvation contributions from reagents to the change in enthalpy of silver(I) complexation with 18-crown-6 ether in binary methanol-acetonitrile solvents

The enthalpies of the transfer of silver(I) ions from methanol to mixed methanol-acetonitrile solvents are calculated using the literature data. An estimative calculation of the enthalpies of transfer of the reaction of formation of [Ag18C6]+ upon a change in the solvent composition MeOH → AN is performed on the basis of previously found laws of change in the thermodynamic characteristics of complexation and solvation of reagents. It is shown that the governing factor in the change in the energy of the reaction is the enhancement of the solvation of the central ion.

Variation of thermodynamic parameters of crown ether-metal complex formation and reactant solvation in binary nonaqueous solvent mixtures

General trends in the variation of thermodynamic parameters of complex formation of crown ethers with d-metal ions in binary nonaqueous solvent mixtures were determined. An equation was proposed for predicting variation of the stability of coordination compounds upon replacement of one nonaqueous solvent by another on the basis of the change in the Gibbs energy of solvation of the central ion. Calculation of the Gibbs energies for the formation of the [Ag18C6]+ ion in acetonitrile and a number of nonaqueous solvents confirmed the predictive ability of the proposed equation.

Effect of the Composition of Ethanol–DMSO Solvents on the Stability of Silver(I) Complexes with 18-Crown-6

The effect of composition of ethanol–dimethyl sulfoxide (EtOH–DMSO) solvents (χDMSO = 0.0–1.0 mole fractions) on the stability of silver(I) complexes with 18-crown-6 ether (18C6) has been studied potentiometrically at 298.15 K. The increasing of DMSO concentrations in mixed solvents are shown to considerably reduce the stability of 18C6 complexes with silver(I) ion ([Ag18C6]+). A change in the solvation state of the central ion is suggested to be the key factor in shifting complexing equilibrium.

Change in the Gibbs energy of 18-crown-6 ether transfer from methanol to methanol-acetonitrile mixtures at 298 K

The Gibbs energies of the transfer of 18-crown-6 ether from methanol to its mixtures with acetonitrile (χAN = 0.0–1.0 mole fraction) are determined by means of interphase distribution at 298 K. The effect the solvent composition has on the thermodynamic characteristics of the solvation of 18-crown-6 ether is analyzed. An increase in the content of acetonitrile in the mixed solvent enhances the solvation of crown ether due to changes in the energy of the solution. Resolvation of the macrocycle is assumed to be complete at acetonitrile concentrations higher than 0.6 mole fraction.

Thermodynamic characteristics of 2,2′-Dipyridyl solvation in binary methanol-acetonitrile solvents

The heat effects of 2,2′-dipyridyl (2,2′-Dipy) dissolution were measured by the calorimetric method at 298.15 K over the whole range of the mixed methanol-acetonitrile (MeOH-AN) solvent compositions. Transfer enthalpies of 2,2′-Dipy from MeOH into its mixtures with AN were calculated according to the obtained data. It was found that passing from MeOH to AN leads to a slight decrease in exothermicity of 2,2′-Dipy solvation in the solvents of compositions XAN = 0.6–1.0, which probably indicates the prevailing contribution of desolvation of the nitrogen atoms over the one of the solvation of the aromatic rings of 2,2′-Dipy molecule with decreasing the basicity of the solvent.
