Solution and solid-state investigations of charge transfer complexes caused by the interaction of bathophenanthroline with different organic acceptors in a (methanol plus dichloromethane) binary solvent system

摘要

The present study investigated and compared the spectroscopic and structural morphology properties of bathophenanthroline (Bath) complexed with three organic acceptors (PA, DNBA and CLA) using a binary mixed solvent in both solution and solid-state. The products were fully characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic techniques, such as UV-visible, IR, H-1 NMR, and C-13 NMR spectroscopies; XRD; SEM; TEM; and CHN elemental analysis. This work highlights that the binary solvent made of MeOH/CH2Cl2 at the molar ratio of 1:1 is an efficient media to form CT products with a highly organized and uniform morphology.
