The 1:1 complexation reaction between Ba(2+) and 18-crown-6 ether is re-examined using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), with the goal of clarifying previously reported discrepancies between reaction enthalpies estimated directly (calorimetric) and indirectly, from the temperature dependence of the reaction equilibrium
