Formation constants, and enthalpy, free energy, and entropy changes for the tetracyanoethylene complexes with a complete series of methyl-substituted benzenes have been evaluated from the charge-transfer spectra over a temperature range of 1−50 °C in carbon tetrachloride solutions. From the literature data, it is deduced that various competing side interactions may not be significant compared to 1:1 electron donor–acceptor complex formation under certain experimental conditions. Some correlations among thermodynamic properties and vertical ionization potentials of the donors are discussed.

The dipole moments of a series of charge-transfer complexes of methylbenzenes with tetracyano-ethylene in carbon tetrachloride solutions at 25 °C and the various parameters derived from Mulliken's theory have been evaluated. The energies of various states of the complexes were calculated via their relationships with the parameters, charge-transfer transition energies, and heats of formation of the complexes by means of the variation principle. Vertical ionization potentials of the donors were obtained from the calculated energies of the dative structures of the complexes. The dipole moments contributed from the charge-transfer interaction can also be reasonably interpreted as charge-transfer energies in terms of vertical ionization potentials of the donors.
