Spectroscopic investigation of the novel charge-transfer complex [(phen)(TCNE)(12)] formed in the reaction of phenacetin with tetracyanoethylene.
The charge-transfer (CT) interaction of the electron donor phenacetin (phen) and the pi-electron acceptor tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) has been studied in CH(2)Cl(2). The results obtained indicate the formation of the novel CT-complex with the general formula [(phen)(TCNE)(12)]. The 1:12 stoichiometry of the reaction was based on photometric titration, elemental analysis, infrared, thermal and cyclic voltametry measurements of the formed CT-complex.
