Popis: Solid 1:1 CT complexes formed between some S-alkyl-N-aryldithiocarbamates and π-electron acceptors (2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), tetracyanoethylene (TCNE), chloranil (CHL)) are synthesized and characterized. Spectral characteristics and stability of the complexes are investigated and discussed in terms of donor molecular structure, π-acceptor electron affinity, and solvent polarity. It is deduced that the complexes are mainly of the n-π type where the ground state wave function can be described primarily by the non-bonding structure. Ionization potentials of the donors are estimated from the CT transition energies of their complexes.
