Gibbs Energy of Cryptand[2.2.2] Transfer from Water to Aqueous Dimethyl Sulfoxide Solvent

Abstract

We represent the Gibbs energies of cryptand[2.2.2] transfer from water to different composition water–dimethyl sulfoxide solvent. The Gibbs energies were determined by interphase distribution of cryptand[2.2.2] between two immiscible solvents. We conclude, that when the dimethyl sulfoxide concentration increases, the cryptand[2.2.2] solvation is weakening.
