Critical micelle concentrations (cmc's) were measured at several temperatures in the range 8-32'C for previously unknown 2-n-C14Hm-[2.2. 1], cryptand 1, in the presence of 1 equiv of either Na+ or Ca2+. Thermodynamic parameters for micelle formation by the complexes were assessed by using the cmc dependence on temperature, AHomb. which was found to be 3.5 kJ/mol (O. &2 kcal/mol) for Na+. l,(cmc at 26" C= 0.092 mM), and 8.4 kJ/mol (2.0 ...
