Abstract:
The formation of the complex between 4-cyanopyridine and 4-(6-acryloyloxy-hexyloxy) benzoic acid and its polymeric analog proceeds due to the proton transfer with the H-bond formation. The presence of two proton acceptor groups within one molecule provides a strong shift of the electron density along the complex molecule due to the conjugation within the proton acceptor molecule. The dielectric relaxation process in a symmetric associate experimentally observed is explained as a kinetic effect related to the formation and destruction of the associate.
Transition from a monomer to a polymer proton donor leads to the formation of the characteristic 1:1 complex with SmC layered structure different from that of a polymer itself.
