Complex Formation between KI and Crown Ethers in Methanol, Ethanol and 1-Butanol at Different Temperatures

Abstract

Formation of complexes of Potassium Iodide with crown ethers was investigated in methanol; ethanol and 1-butanol at 308.15 and 313.15 K. Stability constants of the resulting complexes were estimated by means of calorimetric methods. The results obtained have been discussed in the light of formation of inclusion complexes between crown ether and other compounds.
