^aEstimated from the competitive titration experiments with pyridine.

^bDirectly estimated from variations in concentration.

^cEstimated using eqn (3), wherein K_μ = (3.2 ± 0.1) × 10⁴ M^–1.

^dEstimated by employing ΔG°μ = –5.5 ± 0.3 kJ mol^–1, wherein K_μ = K_μ(L)^1/2K_μ(agg)^1/2 = 9.4 ± 1 M^–1.

^eEffective molarity (EM) was evaluated from eqn (6).
