N1 - Funding Information:
Quantum chemical calculations were performed in part at the Research Center for Computational Science (RCCS) of the Okazaki National Research Institutes. One of the authors (M.K.) is indebted to the Research Fellowship for Young Scientists from Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). Measurements with the ICP emission spectrometer were done by Mr. T. Sugiyama and Dr. K. Okamura at the Center for Advanced Marine Core Research, Kochi University.

N2 - The interaction between protons (H+) or alkaline earth metal ions (Mg2+, Ba2+) and the benzoate ion has been examined in acetonitrile by means of UV-visible, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The assignments of 13C NMR spectra for the benzoate ion (L-), benzoic acid (HL), and the protonated benzoic acid (H2L+) in acetonitrile were properly performed by means of theoretical calculations, including the influence of the acetonitrile solvent by using the self-consistent isodensity polarized continuum model and the polarized continuum model. It is demonstrated that "strong" interactions of alkaline earth metal ions (M2+ = Mg2+, Ba2+) with the benzoate ion (L-) lead to the formation of mono-charged species, ML+, as well as non-charged species, ML2, in acetonitrile solution: the strong ability in coordination for alkaline earth metal ions is verified.
