J. Pola et R. Taylor, EVIDENCE FOR A ROLE OF CHARGE-TRANSFER COMPLEX AND ISOTOPE-SOLVENT EFFECT IN IODINATION OF PHENYLSILANE, Polyhedron, 13(15-16), 1994, pp. 2451-2453
UV-vis absorption spectra of mixtures of phenylsilane C6H5SiH3 and iod
ine in solutions of CDCl3, CHCl3, CH2Cl2, CCl4, c-C6H12 and C6H14 indi
cate that both iodination of phenylsilane and formation of charge-tran
sfer complexes between the two components is strongly enhanced in pola
r chlorohydrocarbons. A unique deuterium solvent effect on the positio
n of the maximum absorption of the C-T complex is observed.
