Note:
a: The logarithms of the equilibrium constants and chemical shifts of the complexes were calculated based on experimental values of chemical shifts data under conditions of rapid exchange.
b: Calculated from NMR signal width.
c: An experimental value of the width of the NMR23NaNCS signal in the absence of ligand
d: Calculated signal width of the NMR23NaL+
