Abstract

Charge-transfer complexes of some heteroarylthiourea derivatives with π-accptors have been studied spectrophotometrically in CH2Cl2. Spectral data, stability constants and enthalpies of complexation are reported. From the energies of the CT transition, ionization potentials of the donors have been obtained. Effects of donor molecular structure, π-acceptor electron affinity and nature of solvent on KCT of complexes are investigated and discussed. It is deduced that the formed CT complexes are of n-π kind and of 1 : 1 stoichiometry.
