Charge Transfer Complexes of N-Arylcarbamates with π-Acceptors

Abstract

The charge-transfer (CT) complexes of some N-arylcarbamates as donors with a number of π-acceptors have been studied spectrophotometrically. The Lewis basicities of the N-arylcarbamates as well as the types of interactions are discussed. The 1H-NMR spectra of some CT complexes with both 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ) and 7,7,8,8 tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) indicate a decrease of the electron density on the donor part of the complex.
