Abstract
Molecular charge-transfer complexes of three N-aryl-N'-isopropyloxycarbonylsulfamides derivatives with π-acceptors tetracyanoethylene (TCNE), and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), were studied by using zero and second order derivative UV spectrophotometry in different solvents at four different temperatures within the range of 20-35 °C. The stoichiometries of the complexes were found to be 1:1 ratio between donors and acceptors using Job's method. The data were analyzed in terms of their stability constant (K), molar extinction coefficient (εCT), thermodynamic standard reaction quantities (ΔG°, ΔH°, ΔS°), oscillator strength (f), transition dipole moment (μEN) and ionization potential (ID). The results show that the stability constant (K) for the complexes was found to be dependant upon the nature of electron acceptor, electron donor, and polarity of used solvents.
