Abstract The decrease in the molar electrolytic conductance of Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+ tetraphenylborates, caused by the addition of benzo-15-crown-5 in acetonitrile at constant ionic strength, is analyzed according to a model involving 1:1 stoichiometry. The stability constant,K, and the limiting molar conductivity, Λ c , for each 1:1 complex are determined from the conductance measurements by using a nonlinear least squares curve fitting procedure. The stability sequence of the 1:1 complexes, as deduced from data at 288, 293, 298, 303, and 308 K, has the order Na+〉K+〉Rb+〉Cs+. Values of ΔH 0, ΔS 0, and Λ c at 298 K are reported and their significance is discussed.
