Charge-transfer complex formation between the donors 1-bromonaphthalene. 9-bromophenanthrene, 9-bromoanthracene, 3-bromopyrene, and 7-bromobenz[a]-anthracene and the acceptors iodine, tetrachlorophthalic anhydride, 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene, and 2,4,7-trinitrofluorenone has been investigated. The positions of the charge-transfer absorption maxima, apparent molar extinction coefficients, and equilibrium constants have been determined in carbon tetrachloride solution and the results compared with those for the corresponding unsubstituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The positions of the absorption maxima of the charge-transfer bands of the brominated hydrocarbons were anomalous but the apparent molar extinction coefficients and equilibrium constants were similar to those obtained for the parent hydrocarbons. The strength of charge-transfer bonding in molecular complexes of brominated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is shown to be of the same order as that in molecular complexes of the unsubstituted hydrocarbons.

Polycyclic Aromatic

We show that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) chromophores that are linked between two five-membered rings can access planarized structures with reduced optical gaps and redox potentials. Two aceanthrylene chromophores were connected into dimer model systems with the chromophores either projected outward (2,2’-biaceanthrylene) or inward (1,1’-biaceanthrylene) and the optical and electronic properties were compared. Only the planar 2,2’-biaceanthrylene system showed significant reductions of the optical gaps (1 eV) and redox potentials in relation to the aceanthrylene monomer.<br>

Load Mode

The concentration of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the gasoline combustion products emitted into the atmosphere by internal combustion engines (ICE) has been measured using the gas chromatography method. The concentrations of PAHs in the exhaust gases sampled behind a catalytic converter has been determined when the ICE operates in five modes: idle mode, high speed mode, load mode, ICE cold start mode (engine warm-up) and transient mode. Using 92 RON, 95 RON and 98 RON gasoline the effect of the octane number of gasoline on the PAHs content in the exhaust gases has been revealed. The concentration of the most carcinogenic component (benzo(α)pyrene) in the exhaust gases behind a catalytic converter significantly exceeds a reference value of benzo(α)pyrene in the atmospheric air established by the WHO and the EU for ICE in the load mode.
