A spectrophotometric study of molecular complexes of 2,3-dicyano-1,4-naphthoquinone

Molecular complexes of 2,3-dicyano-1,4-naphthoquinone with various aromatic anilines were studied spectrophotometrically in dichloromethane solvent at different temperatures. All these complexes show a new broad charge-transfer band in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. All the donors are known to form strong 1:1 complexes with the acceptor and their stoichiometry was unaffected by the variation of temperature over a small interval. The thermodynamic and spectroscopic parameters were evaluated. The order of donor strength followed the sequence: 2,5-dimethylaniline > 2,3-dimethylaniline > N,N-dimethylaniline > p-toluidine > o-toluidine > m-toluidine > N-methylaniline > aniline.     

Electron donor-acceptor complexes of 2,3-dichloro-5-nitro-1,4-naphthoquinone with some methyl substituted anilines: formation of 1:2 (A:D) complexes

The donor-acceptor complexes between 2,3-dichloro-5-nitro-1,4-naphthoquinone (DClNNQ) and some methyl substituted anilines were investigated by spectrophotometric method. This investigation was carried out in three different chlorinated solvents viz., chloroform, dichloromethane and 1,2-dichloroethane. Experimental evidences shows the formation of 1:2 (A:D) complexes but not 1:1 complexes. The calculated values of the oscillator strength and transition moment confirms this suggestion. The stoichiometry of the complexes was unaffected by the variation of temperature over a small interval and also change in solvent. The thermodynamic and spectroscopic parameters were evaluated in all the three solvents for the formation of CT-complexes. The influence of used solvents on the thermodynamic and spectroscopic parameters was investigated. The strength of the donors was also investigated.     

EDA Complexes of 2,3-Dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone with Some Substituted Anilines

Summary. Electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes of several substituted anilines with the -acceptor 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone (DClNQ) in chloroform, dichloromethane, and 1,2-dichloroethane were studied by a spectrophotometric method. Experimental data has been shown to confirm the 1:2 stoichiometry of the acceptor-donor in spite of the apparent linearity of the Benesi-Hildebrand plot for a 1:1 complex. The calculated values of oscillator strengths, transition moments, and thermodynamic parameters confirms the 1:2 (A:D) stoichiometry of the complexes. The formation constants and molar absorptivities for these AD₂ complexes have been evaluated. The stoichiometry was unaffected by the variation of the temperature over a small interval and also by the change in polarity of the solvent. The order of the donor strength followed the sequence: N-benzylaniline>p-chloroaniline>m-chloroaniline>o-chloroaniline.Present address: Materials Research Centre, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore-12, India

Interaction of 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone with n-butylamine in halocarbon solvents

The rapid interaction between 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone (DClNQ) and n-butylamine results in the formation of 2N(n-butylamino)-3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone as the final product. The reaction is found to proceed through the initial formation of charge-transfer (CT) complex as an intermediate. The final product of the reaction has been isolated and characterized using FTIR, H1 and C13 NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The rate of formation of product has been measured as a function of time in different halocarbon solvents, viz., chloroform, dichloromethane and 1:1 (v/v) mixture of two solvents. The pseudo first order and second order rate constants at various temperatures for the transformation process were evaluated from the absorbance time data. The activation parameters (E(a), DeltaS#, DeltaH#, and DeltaG#) were obtained from temperature dependence of rate constants. The influence of dielectric constant on the properties of reaction was discussed and the probable course of reaction is presented.     

Spectroscopic and spectrofluorimetric studies on the interaction of irbesartan with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone and iodine

Raman, UV-vis, 1H NMR, FT-IR, mass and fluorescence spectral techniques were employed to investigate the mechanism of interaction of irbesartan (IRB) drug with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) and iodine. Interaction of IRB with iodine yields triiodide ion and its formation was confirmed by electronic and Raman spectra. The peaks appeared in Raman spectrum of the isolated product at 143, 113 and 76 cm(-1) are assigned to νas(I-I), νs(I-I) and δ(I3-) respectively, confirmed the presence of I3- ion. The interaction of DDQ with irbesartan was found to proceed through the formation of outer complex and its conversion to the CT complex. Formation constant (K), molar extinction coefficient (?) and thermodynamic properties ΔH#, ΔS# and ΔG# were determined and discussed. Fluorescence quenching studies indicated that the interaction between the IRB and the acceptors are spontaneous and the IRB-DDQ interaction is found to be stronger than that the other system. Solvent variation studies indicated that the binding constant increased with an increase in polarity of the medium.

Oxidative transformation of the natural lignan hydroxymatairesinol with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone

The oxidative transformation of the two isomers of the natural lignan hydroxymatairesinol from Norway Spruce (Picea abies) by 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), has been studied. Significant differences in the outcome of the reactions were observed when the pure isomers of hydroxymatairesinol were reacted with DDQ under the same conditions. The different stereoelectronic effects in the two isomers as well as their conformational structures seem to determine the site of reaction, which results in different reaction products. Several products were identified by GC-MS and NMR spectroscopy. Oxomatairesinol was obtained in a yield of 25%.     

Application of soft- and hard-modelling approaches to resolution of kinetics of electron donor-acceptor complex formation of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone with imipramine in different solutions

Kinetics of electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex formation of imipramine and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) was investigated spectrophotometrically in acetonitrile, 1,2-dichloroethane, and chloroform solutions using soft- and hard-modelling approaches. From the results of exploratory analysis of kinetic data and the spectral changes by soft-modelling approaches, evolving factor analysis (EFA) and orthogonal projection approach (OPA), a consecutive two-steps reaction with two intermediates was proposed for the process in acetonitrile and 1,2-dichloroethane media and one with a single intermediate in chloroform solution. Secondly, by applying, multivariate nonlinear least squares hard-modelling approach on the collected experimental kinetic data matrix, the nonlinear parameters (rate constants) as well as the linear parameters (spectral profiles) were obtained by fitting the collected experimental kinetic data matrix to the proposed model. Small values of standard deviation in the resulting parameters and sum of squares of the residuals (ssq) obtained showed the proper selection of the model. Furthermore, the values of lack of fit and percent of explained variance confirmed the correct identified models. Identification of the model with the aid of soft-modelling approaches followed by application of the hard-modelling approaches decreases significantly the rotational ambiguity associated with the obtained concentration and spectral profiles. Variations in the kinetic constants were in complete agreement with the model proposed and the solvent polarities.
