Electrical conductivities, electron spin resonance spectra, electronic spectra, and Seebeck coefficients of solid charge-transfer complexes of benzidine–iodine, p-phenylenediamine–iodine, and phenothiazine–iodine as well as two antimony chloride complexes of phenothiazine have been studied. The phenothiazine–I2 system shows change in sign of the majority charge carriers with the donor–acceptor ratio. The effect of ambient gases on the conductivities of a few donors, acceptors, and their complexes in the solid state have been examined. Seebeck coefficient measurements show that the conduction in TCNQ salts takes place by a hopping mechanism.

The electron spin resonance absorption and electrical resistivity have been measured under rigorous conditions for a series of polypyrroles prepared over the temperature range 120-500�. When plotted as a function of pyrolysis temperature the resistivity shows a maximum in the region 200-300�. Although the resistivity of the polymers prepared at 120� and 500� is roughly similar, their e.s.r. behaviour is quite different. The low-temperature polymer, containing much complexed iodine, shows a very broad signal arising from an excited state probably associated with a polypyrrole-iodine charge-transfer complex; the high temperature polymer, containing no iodine, shows a strong narrow signal arising from the ground state of the polymer. The changes in conductivity of the polymers following the adsorption of electron acceptor or donor molecules have been measured. It is concluded that, depending on the relative amounts of electron donating or attracting chemisorbed species in relation to the concentration of donor nitrogen atoms in the polypyrrole, the polymer may behave as an intrinsic or extrinsic semiconductor with n- or p-type characteristics. Charge-transfer complexes of strength sufficient to cause partial ionization induce extrinsic behaviour by changing the ratio of the number of electrons to the number of holes. Substituent groups such as the hetero atoms which interact with the π-electron system inductively or through resonance affect only the relative mobility of the charge carriers and induce intrinsic behaviour.

A series of solvated donor–acceptor organic complexes were shown to slowly release the lattice solvent while the degree of charge transfer decreases steadily. This behavior is not observed in the case of a hydrate.

The charge transfer complexes of 2,3- (I) and 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalenes (II) as electron donors with tri- and di-nitrobenzenes as electron acceptors are prepared and investigated by element analysis, IR. 1H nmr and electronic absorption spectroscopy. The results showed that I yields CT complexes of 1:1 type only while II is capable of forming 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 (donor: acceptor) compounds. The spectral characteristics of the CT complexes are pointed out and discussed. The difference in the donor behaviour between I and II is explained in the light of PPP-MO calculations.
