title: Complexation equilibria between alkali metal cations and Lewis bases
reg no: SF0182570s03
project type: targeted financing
subject: 1.6-1.9. Chemistry and Molecular Biology
status: accepted
institution: University of Tartu
head of project: Peeter Burk
duration: 01.01.2003 - 31.12.2007
description: The current project focuses on the following goals:
1. Generation of the web-based publicly available database of critically evaluated alkali metal cation affinities and basicities
2. Finding and calibrating of the theoretical calculation methods for reliable estimation of alkali metal cation affinities
3. Comparison of the gas-phase alkali metal cation affinities and proton affinities for different families of Lewis bases
4. Construction of alkali metal cation affinity scales for anionic bases
5. Theoretical modeling of the cooperative effects (influence of the distance and orientation of coordination sites, role of non-classical coordination, and flexibility of the ligands
