Peculiarity of Hexamethylenetetratellurafulvalene (HMTTeF) Charge Transfer Complexes of Donor-Acceptor (D-A) Type

The complex formation of hexamethylenetetratellurafulvalene (HMTTeF) with 28 kinds of organic electron acceptors yielded 31 charge transfer (CT) complexes. The infrared and ultra-violet-visible-near-infrared spectra of the complexes were examined to study the ionicity of their ground states in solid. A plot of CT transition energies and the difference of redox potentials; ΔE(DA) of donor (D) and acceptor (A) molecules indicated that four complexes have a neutral ground state. Four other complexes exhibit characteristic features of a fully ionic ground state based on the vibrational spectra. Notably, the HCBD, F₄TCNQ and DDQ complexes indicate both a relatively low first CT band and high conductivity in a solid in spite of the fully ionic character being very plausible. Twenty-three complexes having a partially ionic ground state have a CT band below 4×10 cm⁻¹ and are highly conductive. The preparation of good single crystals of the HMTTeF complexes for structural analysis was only successful with Et₂TCNQ and BTDA-TCNQ, which have the structure of DA alternately stacking. These two complexes indicate high conductivities in spite of their disadvantageous packing manner. The intermolecular interactions are found to be strongly enhanced by both the bulky molecular orbital of HMTTeF and the decreased on-site Coulomb repulsion in the HMTTeF complexes. These two factors in particular seem to prevent both the fully ionic and the DA alternating HMTTeF complexes from becoming insulators, even though the redox parameters and the crystal structures predict them to be insulating.     

Charge-transfer complexes from decamethylferrocene and 1,4-quinone derivatives: neutral-ionic phase diagrams for metallocene complexes

Charge-transfer (CT) complexes of ferrocenes with 1,4-quinone derivatives were investigated. Deca- and octamethylferrocene complexes with 1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives were prepared and structurally characterized; these were neutral 1:2 DA complexes with mixed-stack structures. The formation of complexes with 1,4-benzoquinones was examined by applying solvent-drop grinding. CT energies and phase transitions in these neutral and other ionic complexes were investigated. Their electronic states are discussed on the basis of the phase diagrams derived for mixed-stack ferrocene-based CT complexes, taking into account their dependence on the DA ratio, dimensionality, and intermolecular interactions.     

Charge redistribution effect on the properties of charge transfer complexes HnR⋅XY and HnR⋅X2 (X,Y = F,Cl, Br,I; R = O,S, N,P)

Systematic studies on structures, energies, charge transfer, dipole moments, and ionic character of a series of weakly bonded charge transfer (CT) complexes (D⋅AB, D = H₂O, H₂S, NH₃, PH₃, AB = F₂, Cl₂, Br₂, I₂, BrCl, IBr, ClF, ICl, BrF, IF) have been carried out by the hybrid Hartree–Fock density functional theory (HF‐DFT) method, where those results are validated by available experimental and theoretical investigations. Employing the Hohenberg–Kohn theorem, the property of a multicomponent system is formulated with contributions from both component properties and the charge redistribution (CR) effect, which describes the electronic coupling between components. For any property of a multicomponent system, provided that the intercomponent coupling is weak enough, the first‐order approximation can be applied, which yields a linear correlation of the component contribution to the CR effect. In fact, this kind of linear relationship can be evidenced by all the studied properties including the geometry, energy, charge transfer, dipole moment, and ionic character of all 40 complexes. This approximation quantitatively describes the relative contribution of the components to a given property, which shows the same tendency in a series of complexes. Based on the investigations of the CT effect on the intermolecular bond energy and the total dipole moment, it has been found that the principal bonding character of the title complexes was ascertained to be ionic with the exception of the F₂ complexes, which agrees well with the calculated ionic character. The CT effect, though small in a quantitative aspect, is directly connected to various kinds of system properties. The effectiveness and consistency of the present type of calculations in multicomponent systems may allow their wider applications in the study of intermolecular interactions. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Interaction of nicotine with π and σ electron acceptors

Interaction of nicotine with tetracyanoethylene and iodine was investigated spectrophotometrically and found to form strong CT complexes (n−π and n-σ^*, respectively). The donor site involved in CT interaction is the pyrrolidine nitrogen. The nicotine-I₂ complex exists as the ionic structure (nicotine) I⁺-I ₃ ⁻ . Formation constants of the CT complexes in various solvents were determined from 10 to 25°C and are discussed in terms of the nature of the electron acceptor and solvent polarity. Solid CT complexes were synthesized and were characterized by microchemical analysis and infrared spectra techniques.     

Ion-polyether coordination complexes: crystalline ionic conductors for clean energy storage

Ion-polyether complexes are the solid state analogues of crown ether and cryptand complexes. They represent a fascinating class of coordination compounds in their own right, with the ability to support ionic conductivity and the potential to be used as electrolytes in all-solid-state rechargeable lithium batteries. Here the recent discovery of ionic conductivity in crystalline ion-polyether complexes, when for 30 years such materials were considered to be insulators, is described, along with their closely related structural chemistry.

Infrared,Raman, 1H NMR,TG, and SEM properties of the charge-transfer interactions between tris(hydroxymethyl)methane with the acceptors picric acid,chloranilic acid,and 1,3-dinitrobenzene

Intermolecular charge-transfer complexes (CT) between the tris(hydroxymethyl)methane (THM) as a donor and picric acid (PA), chloranilic acid (CLA) and 1,3-dinitrobenzene (DNB) as a π-acceptor have been structurally, thermally and morphologically studied in methanol at room temperature. Based on elemental analyses (CHN), the stoichiometry of the obtained CT complexes (THM: acceptor molar ratios) was determined to be 1 : 1 for all three complexes. The CT complexes have been characterized via elemental analyses (CHN), IR, Raman and 1H NMR spectroscopy in order to predict the position of the CT interaction between the donating and accepting sites. Thermal decomposition behavior of these complexes was also investigated, and their kinetic thermodynamic parameters were calculated with Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzger methods. Finally, the microstructure properties of these complexes were observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM).     

Non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug-copper(II) complexes: structure and biological perspectives

Copper(II) complexes with the non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug mefenamic acid in the presence of aqua or nitrogen donor heterocyclic ligands (2,2'-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, 2,2'-bipyridylamine or pyridine) have been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structures of [(2,2'-bipyridine)bis(mefenamato)copper(II)], 2, [(2,2'-bipyridylamine)bis(mefenamato)copper(II)], 4, and [bis(pyridine)bis(methanol)bis(mefenamato)copper(II)], 5, have been determined by X-ray crystallography. UV study of the interaction of the complexes with calf-thymus DNA (CT DNA) has shown that the complexes can bind to CT DNA and [bis(aqua)tetrakis(mefenamato)dicopper(II)] exhibits the highest binding constant to CT DNA. The cyclic voltammograms of the complexes in the presence of CT DNA solution have shown that the complexes can bind to CT DNA by the intercalative binding mode verified also by DNA solution viscosity measurements. Competitive studies with ethidium bromide (EB) indicate that the complexes can displace the DNA-bound EB suggesting strong competition with EB. Mefenamic acid and its complexes exhibit good binding propensity to human or bovine serum albumin protein having relatively high binding constant values. All the compounds have been tested for their antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity as well as for their in vitro inhibitory activity against soybean lipoxygenase showing significant activity.     

Recent Trends in Polymer Electrolytes Based on Poly(Ethylene Oxide)

Recent work on the crystallographic and morphological structure of semicrystalline PEO complexes with alkali metal salts is described. The thermal properties of the materials and the influence of solvent on complex formation is also considered. The dependence of the ionic conductivity of the complexes on their morphology, the temperature and ionic association is discussed and some current work relating to the mechanism of conduction is considered. The various strategies which have been adopted to suppress crystallinity and so to optimize ionic conductivity, including networks, “comb” structures, and linear copolymers, are reviewed. The morphological organization and mesogenic behavior of some novel crystalline complexes of PEO with organo-alkali salts, such as sodium phenolates and naphtholates, are discussed. Some PEO composite materials which have mixed electronic-ionic mechanisms of conductivity are also described.     

Theoretical analysis of charge-transfer bands of m-chlorophenyl hydrazone of carbonyl cyanide (CPHC) with different electron donors

A theoretical analysis of the charge-transfer bands obtained with m-chlorophenyl hydrazone of carbonyl cyanide (CPHC) with different electron donors has been made using a two structure resonance model. The values of the resonance integral and enthalpy of formation of CPHC-complexes show that they are stronger than halogen atom and tetracyanoethylene complexes of aromatic bases. The values of resonance energies and ionic character for ground and excited states have also been calculated. The deviation in the slope from unity in E_CT vs. I_D plots of most of the CT complexes has been explained by using a new correlation formula. The calculated values of free energies of dissociation for the present systems show a constant value for a similar class of donors.     

Absorption spectrometric study of charge transfer complex formation between 4-acetamidophenol (paracetamol) and a series of quinones including vitamin K3

The formation of charge transfer (CT) complexes of 4-acetamidophenol (commonly called 'paracetamol') and a series of quinones (including Vitamin K3) has been studied spectrophotometrically in ethanol medium. The vertical ionisation potential of paracetamol and the degrees of charge transfer of the complexes in their ground state has been estimated from the trends in the charge transfer bands. The oscillator and transition dipole strengths of the complexes have been determined from the CT absorption spectra at 298 K. The complexes have been found by Job's method of continuous variation to have the uncommon 2:1 (paracetamol:quinone) stoichiometry in each case. The enthalpies and entropies of formation of the complexes have been obtained by determining their formation constants at five different temperatures.     

Charge-transfer complexes of meso-substituted porphines

Charge-transfer (CT) complexes of 5,10,15,20-tetramethyl-21H,23H-porphine [H₂(tmp)] and 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphine [H₂(tpp)] have been prepared with TCNQ-type (TCNQ = 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane) acceptors. The complexes crystallize in a mixed-stacked structure. The electronic state of the complexes has been investigated by combining structural geometry information of the acceptors with vibrational spectroscopy data. The complexes were found to possess neutral ground states. The difference between the donor oxidation potential and the acceptor reduction potential (ΔE) also supports this designation of their electronic states. The CT absorption energy shows a linear correlation with ΔE, which is expected for CT complexes in their neutral ground states. The frontier orbitals of the porphyrin donor that participate in the CT interactions have been examined by calculating the overlap integral between the donor occupied molecular orbitals and acceptor LUMO in the complexes. In the H₂(tmp) and H₂(tpp) complexes, a_2u- and a_1u-type porphyrin HOMO and next-HOMO, respectively, are suggested to both be contributors to the establishment of π–π* CT interactions and formation of the complex.

Formation of higher chloride complexes of Np(IV) and Pu(IV) in water-stable room-temperature ionic liquid [BuMeIm][Tf2N

A UV/vis/near-IR spectroscopic study shows that in [BuMeIm][(CF3SO2)2N] hydrophobic room-temperature ionic liquid solutions, [BuMeIm]2[AnCl6] complexes, where BuMeIm+ is 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium and An(IV) is Np(IV) or Pu(IV), have an octahedral An(IV) environment similar to that observed in solid complexes. Water has no influence on the absorption spectra of AnCl6(2-) complexes, indicating their stability to hydrolysis in ionic liquid. Adding [BuMeIm]Cl modifies the UV/vis/near-IR absorption spectra of An(IV) in the ionic liquid and causes solids to precipitate. The solid-state reflectance spectra of the precipitates reveal considerable differences from the corresponding An(IV) hexachloro complexes. A voltammetric study indicates that AnCl6(2-) complexes are electrochemically inert in [BuMeIm][(CF3SO2)2N] at the glassy carbon working electrode. By contrast, quasi-reversible electrochemical reduction An(IV)/An(III) and An(IV) oxidation are observed in ionic liquids in the presence of [BuMeIm]Cl. The oxidation wave of noncoordinated chloride ions interferes with the An(IV) oxidation waves. The spectroscopic and voltammetric data clearly indicate the formation of nonoctahedral actinide(IV) chloride complexes with a Cl-/An(IV) ratio exceeding 6/1 in [BuMeIm][(CF3SO2)2N] in excess chloride ions.     

Effects of methyl substituent on the charge-transfer complexations of dicarbazolylalkanes with p-chloranil, tetracyanoethylene and tetracyanoquinodimethane

Series of 1,n-dicarbazolylalkanes and 1,n-di(3-methylcarbazolyl)alkanes (where n=1-5) were synthesized and the molar extinction coefficients, equilibrium constants, enthalpies, and entropies of their charge-transfer (CT) complexes with the π-acceptors p-chloranil, tetracyanoethylene, and tetracyanoquinodimethane were investigated. 1,n-Di(3-methylcarbazolyl)alkanes formed CT complexes with higher equilibrium constants, more negative enthalpies and entropies than 1,n-dicarbazolylalkanes. Vibrational spectra of CT complexes of one of the donor molecules (1,4-dicarbazolylbutane) with all three acceptors were compared.
