Crystalline complex of 18-crown-6 with water and a phase diagram of the binary system as studied by Raman spectroscopy
Abstract
The formation of a crystalline complex of 18-crown-6 with water has been shown for the first time by Raman spectroscopy; the Raman spectral observations, incorporated with the measurement of the liquidus, lead to a phase diagram of this binary system, indicating that the molar ratio of 18-crown-6 to water in the complex is approximately 1 : 4–6.
