Interaction of diethyl, triethyl, n-butyl, di-n-butyl and tri-n-butyl amines as n-donor with benzonitrile as π-acceptor has been studied in n-hexane. The formation of weak electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complexes is proposed to explain the spectroscopic behavior of the mixtures. An iterative procedure was used to obtain values of stability constants (K) and extinction coefficients (ε). The fact that from the new absorption observed for these systems a value of K and a finite constant value of ε could be determined gives proof of the existence of EDA complexes. This conclusion is further supported by the temperature effect observed. Correlations of the experimental data with amine structure and other types of amine complexes were found.

The interaction of several aliphatic amines as n-donors and dinitrobenzenes (DNB) as π-acceptors has been studied in n-hexane. The formation of electron donor – acceptor (EDA) complexes is proposed to explain the spectroscopic behaviour of the mixtures. The stability constants (Ks) for these complexes have been calculated by an iterative procedure. For a given acceptor, the donor strength of RNH2 > R2NH > R3N was found. This order is explained by considering the role that steric effect may play in the EDA complex formation. On the other hand, the fact that for a given donor Ks follows the order 1,2-DNB > 1,3-DNB > 1,4-DNB, and that 1,2-DNB reacts with primary amines, led to the proposal of orientational complexes. These EDA complexes may be considered intermediates in aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions.

AbstractThe formation of electron-donor-acceptor complexes of hexamethylbenzene (HMB) with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) was investigated by measurements of the optical absorptions, the densities, the permittivities and the electro-optical absorptions of solutions in CCl4. The careful evaluation of data based on some previously reported models, has shown that the assumption of the formation of the 1: 1 and the 2 : 1 complex agrees with all experimental data, but that the assumption of the formation of only the 1: 1 complex is contradictory to experimental facts even if the activity effects on the equilibrium constant and of the solvent dependences of observed molar quantities are taken into account. The evaluation leads to the molar optical absorption coefficients and the molar volumes of both complexes and to their electric dipole moments in the electronic ground state and the considered excited state. According to these results the complexes are of the sandwich type HMB-TCNE and HMB-TCNE-HMB. In spite of the fact that the 2: 1 complex owns a center of symmetry, at least approximately, there is a rather large electric dipole moment in its excited state. Furthermore, values for the equilibrium constants and for the standard reaction enthalpies of both complex formation reactions are estimated from experimental data.

The interaction of several aliphatic amines as n-donors with 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-dicyanobenzenes as π acceptors in n-hexane has been studied. The spectroscopic behaviour of the mixtures leads us to propose that Electron Donor – Acceptor (EDA) complexes are formed. Correlations of the experimental data with the amine structure were performed for the amine–1,4-dicyanobenzene complexes. By means of free energy related substituents and regression analysis, the electronic and steric effects of three N-substituents were quantitatively separated. Thus, with K representing the stability constants of the complexes, the values of log K are correlated with Taft's polar substituent constants, σ*, and Hancock's corrected steric substituent constants, [Formula: see text] The results allowed the proposal of a probable structure of the complex, at least with respect to the donor orientation.
