Determination of ion-pair formation constants of univalent metal-crown ether complex ions with anions in water using ion-selective electrodes: application of modified determination methods to several salts.
Ion-pair formation constants (mol(-1) dm3 unit), K(MX) for a univalent metal salt (MX) and K(MLX) for its ion-pair complex (ML+X-) with a crown ether (L) in water, were determined at various ionic strengths (I) and 25 degrees C by potentiometry with ion-selective electrodes for MX=NaPic, NaMnO4, NaBPh4, KPic, and KMnO4; and MLX = Na(18C6)Pic, K(18C6)Pic, and Na(18C6)BPh4, where Pic- and 18C6 denote a picrate ion and 18-crown-6 ether, respectively. Equations for analyzing I-dependence of logK(MLX) and logK(MX) were derived and fitted well to the I-dependence using a non-linear regression analysis. The equilibrium constants at I = 0 mol dm(-3), K(MLX) degrees and K(MX) degrees, were simultaneously obtained from the analysis. The experimental values of K(MLX) and K(MX) were only in agreement with the values calculated from K(MLX) degrees and K(MX) degrees , respectively, in the ranges of higher I.
