Abstract The interaction of several cyclic ethers, poly(ethylene glycol dimethyl ether)s, nitriles, esters and ketones with lithium picrate in dioxane at 25°C was investigated by means of a competition method using cross-linked poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as the insoluble ligand. The Langmuir-Klotz isotherm of LiPi binding to the PEO gel gave an apparent binding constant, K′, as a function of the concentration of added ligand. Plots of 1/K′ vs. the ligand concentration then yielded the formation constant, K L , of the ligand complex with LiPi. The results demonstrate that in dioxane one ligand molecule binds to LiPi. While there is some dependence on the Gutmann donicity number of the respective ligands, steric factors often play a dominant role in determining the value of K L . The results were compared with complexation data obtained on similar systems but by different methods.
