The complexation of alkali-metal cations with calix[4]arene tertiary amide derivative (L) was studied in N-methylformamide (NMF), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) by means of microcalorimetric and UV spectrophotometric titrations. The Gibbs energies, enthalpies, and entropies for transfer of reactants and products from N-methylformamide to other solvents were determined. Favorable enthalpic contribution to overall stability was found to be the most important for all complexation reactions, especially in the case of NaL+ formation, resulting in an affinity peak of L for this cation. The complexation entropy changes were always unfavorable. The ligand dissolution was endothermic in all solvents, accompanied by positive solution entropy. The highest complex stability constants were determined in NMF, whereas in DMSO the affinity of L towards alkali metal cations was the lowest. An interesting interplay between the transfer enthalpies and entropies of the reactants and complexes was revealed and discussed in detail.
