title: Molecular complexes of antipsychotic pharmaceutical parent molecule phenothiazine and unsaturated acid anhydrides.
abstract: The charge-transfer complexes (CTC) between a parent molecule of antipsychotic pharmaceuticals, phenothiazine, and seven unsaturated acid anhydrides, 1,4,5,8-naphtalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride, diphenic anhydride, maleic anhydride (MA), 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (THPA), 3-hydroxy-1,8-naphthalic anhydride (HONA), 4-chloro-1,8-naphthalic anhydride (ClNA), and 1,8-naphthalic anhydride (NA) were studied using IR and UV spectroscopy. Stability constants (K) at different temperatures were measured, and based on the K's DeltaH and DeltaS were calculated. The values of electron affinity (E(A)) of anhydrides were obtained according to Mulliken's theory. The results show that phenothiazine is an excellent donor and has strong ability to complex with the carbonyl group, and the E(A) values have good linear relationships with DeltaH and K, respectively. The solvent effect on CTCs was also determined and explained. The CTC of phenothiazine-succinic anhydride (SA) was studied under the same conditions. It was deduced from the results obtained that there were two charge-accepting centers in the unsaturated acid anhydrides when they formed CTCs with phenothiazine. The first one was carbon atom of the two carbonyl groups and the second one was their -C=C- in the molecules.
