title: In situ synthesis, photometric and spectroscopic studies of chelating system during the 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane charge transfer reaction with different acceptors.
abstract: Electron donor acceptor complexes (EDA) of the 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane (18-crown-6) as a rich donor were spectrophotometrically discussed and synthesized in solid form according the interactions with different nine of usual π-acceptors like 2,3,5,6-tetrachlorocyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (p-chloranil; p-CHL), tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone (o-chloranil; o-CHL), 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), 2,6-dichloroquinone-4-chloroimide (DCQ), 2,6-dibromoquinone-4-chloroimide (DBQ), 2,5-dichloro-3,6-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (chloranilic acid; CLA), N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (picric acid; PA). Spectroscopic and physical data such as formation constant (K(CT)), molar extinction coefficient (ɛ(CT)), standard free energy (ΔG°), oscillator strength (f), transition dipole moment (μ), resonance energy (R(N)) and ionization potential (I(p)) were estimated in chloroform or methanol at 25°C. Based on the elemental analysis and photometric titrations the CT-complexes were formed indicated the formation of 1:1 charge-transfer complexes for the o-CHL, TCNQ, DCQ, DBQ and NBS acceptors but 1:3 ratio for p-CHL, DDQ, CLA and PA, respectively. The charge-transfer interactions were interpretative according to the formation of dative ion pairs [18C6(•+), A(•-)], where A is acceptor. All of the resulting charge transfer complexes were isolated in amorphous form and the complexes formations on IR and (1)H NMR spectra were discussed.
