Spectroscopic investigation on charge transfer complexes formed in the reaction of pi-electron acceptors with the donor cyclic base 1,4,10,13-tetraoxa-7,16-diazacyclooctadecane
Em. Nour et al., Spectroscopic investigation on charge transfer complexes formed in the reaction of pi-electron acceptors with the donor cyclic base 1,4,10,13-tetraoxa-7,16-diazacyclooctadecane, SPECT LETT, 32(1), 1999, pp. 115-124
The interaction of the cyclic base 1,4,10,13-tetrstoxa-7,16-diazacyclooctad
ecane (TODACOD) with different pi-electron accepters have been studied spec
trophotometrically in CHCl3. These pi-electron accepters are 1-chloro-2,4,6
-trinitrobenzene (picryl chloride), 7,7', 8,8' -tetracyanoquinone (TCNQ) an
d tetrachloro-p-benzo quinone (chloranil). The results indicate the formati
on of 1:4 charge transfer complexes with the general structures [(TODACOD)(
Accept)(4)]. The charge transfer absorptions as well as the infrared spectr
a of these complexes are obtained.
