Complex Formation of Crown Ethers and Cations in Water–Organic Solvent Mixtures: Part XII. Effect of the Acid–Base Properties of the Mixture on the Thermodynamic Functions of Complex Formation of Benzo-15-Crown-5 with Na+ in Water–Methanol Mixtures at 298.15 K

The enthalpies of solution of benzo-15-crown-5 ether in methanol–water mixtures and methanol–water–sodium iodide systems have been measured at 298.15 K. The values of standard enthalpies of solution of benzo-15-crown-5 ether are positive in the mixtures of water and methanol within the whole range of mixture composition. The equilibrium constants of complex formation of benzo-15-crown-5 ether with the sodium cation have been determined by conductivity measurements at 298.15 K. The thermodynamic functions of the formation of these complexes have been calculated. The Gibbs energy of complex formation depends on the base–acid properties of methanol–water mixture.
