Synthesis,characterization and electrical conductivity of charge transfer complex of p-toluidine and chloranil

摘要

The charge transfer(CT)complex of p-toluidine-chloranil(CA)was prepared by solution growth and microwave techniques and characterized by elemental analysis,UV-Vis,IR and ~1H NMR spectroscopic data.The data obtained indicated the formation of the CT complex having 1:1 stoichiometry.It indicates that the charge transfer interaction is associated with a proton migration from the acceptor to the donor followed by intermolecular hydrogen bonding.The CT complex was found to behave as semiconductor at room temperature.
