title: Charge transfer complexes of methylnaphthalene derivatives with TCNE in CCl4.
abstract: The spectrophotometric and thermodynamic properties of different substituted methylnaphthalenes charge transfer (CT) complexes with tetracyanoethylene have been studied in carbon tetrachloride. The spectral characteristics of the CT bands have also been discussed in relation to the positions of methyl groups. The formation constants and the spectral properties of the complexes are markedly affected with the substitution position of the methyl groups. The ionization potentials of the donors are determined.
