Abstract Stability constants (β 1 NB ) of the 1:1 cationic complexes of Li+ Na+, K+ Ca2+ Sr2+ and Ba2+ with benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6), Ca2+ and Sr2+ with 18C6 and dibenzo-18C6 and Li+, Na+, Ca2+, Sr2+ and Ba2+ with dibenzo-24-crown-8 in a nitrobenzene (NB) solution saturated with water (w) were determined at 25°C by ion-transfer polarography. From these values, distribution constants (K D,ML) of the 18C6-derivative complex cations between the w- and NB-phases were evaluated using the thermodynamic relation:K D,ML =Kβ 1 NB , whereK (mol dm−3) is an overall equilibrium constant of the processes related to the complexation in the w-phase. The data on the distribution of the 18C6-derivative complex cations between the two phases and the complexation in the NB-phase were examined on the basis of an increase in the number of water molecules hydrated to the species relevant to these processes. The 18C6 derivatives showed higher solubilities in the NB-phase than in the w-phase by complexing with the univalent-metal ions, while, for the divalent-metal ions, the derivatives showed lower solubilities in the NB-phase.
