The facilitated transfer of alkali metal cations (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+) by dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) across the electrochemically polarizable interface between an aqueous solution (W) and a hydrophobic ionic liquid, N-octadecylisoquinolinium tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate ([C(18)Iq][TFPB]), has been studied using cyclic voltammetry at the interface formed at the tip of a micropipet. In cyclic voltammograms (CVs), the current due to the facilitated transfer of the cations by DB18C6 from W to [C(18)Iq][TFPB] can be measured within the polarized potential window of the [C(18)Iq][TFPB]jW interface. The stoichiometry of the complexes in [C(18)Iq][TFPB] for Li+, Na+, K+, and Rb+ are found to be 1: 1 while for the Cs+ transfer both 1: 1 and 1: 2 complexes are likely to be formed. The formation constants of the 1: 1 complexes for Li+, Na+, K+, and Rb+ in [C(18)Iq][TFPB], K-f(R), evaluated from CVs are log K-f(R) = 5.0, 7.0, 8.2, and 7.3, respectively. The K-f(R) value for K+ is 1 order of magnitude greater than that for Na+. This higher selectivity of DB18C6 to K+ over Na+ in [C(18)Iq][ TFPB] compared with that in molecular solvents suggests that the RTIL provides a unique solvation environment for the complexations of DB18C6 with the ions.
