The formation of the molecular complexes of some phenylfurans with TCNE has been investigated by spectroscopic methods. The formation constants were determined by graphical and iterative procedures and some thermodynamic parameters were calculated. The formed molecular complexes were π ones. Diphenylfuran proved to be a much stronger electron donor than phenylfuran and the latter stronger than furan. Results at hand suggest that the donors investigated assume an all-planar conformation.

Charge transfer (CT) complexes of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) with iodine as a typical σ-type acceptor and with typical π-type acceptor, 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), have been synthesized and characterized. Octafluorotoluene (OFT), octafluoronaphthalene (OFN), perfluorophenanthrene (PFP), and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoropyridine-4-carbonitrile (TFP) were also used as acceptors for interaction with DMAP. Properties of such CT complexes were investigated by UV/VIS and IR spectra, and elemental analyses of the isolated complexes. The systems DMAP-iodine and DMAP-DDQ are characterized by formation of triiodide ions (I3-) and DDQ•- anion radicals, respectively, which is proposed to occur via initial formation of outer-sphere CT complexes. The systems (DMAP-OFT, DMAP-OFN, DMAP-PFP and DMAP-TFP) are characterized by the appearance of new UV/VIS spectral bands assigned as CT bands; they also furnished the corresponding solid complexes with the stoichiometric ratio 1:1. 1H and 19F NMR spectra were used on confirming the formation of the DMAP-PFP CT complexes. The formation constants (KCT) and molar absorption coefficients (εCT) of the latter complex were obtained.

For 1 : 1 molecular complexes involving an n-type electron donor and an aσ-type electron acceptor, it is proved that the simplest Mulliken description, ΨN ≈ Ψ(D,A)+λΨ(D+-A-), is equivalent to using a one-electron bond as the intermolecular bond between the donor (D) and the acceptor (A). The theory is illustrated with reference to the Hassel compound Me3N...I2, and the charge-transfer aspects of hydrogen bonding for the water dimer.

The charge transfer complexes of 2,2′-bithienyl, 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bithienyl, and some thiophene derivatives as donors with tetracyanoethylene as an acceptor have been studied spectrophotometrically. In addition, complexes of the first donor with chloranil and iodine have been studied. The formation constants and extinction coefficients of the molecular complexes formed have been determined by graphical as well as iterative methods. From measurements at different temperatures, the thermodynamic functions of the complex formation have been calculated. The ionization potentials of the donors have been obtained from the energies of the charge transfer transitions.

Metal-free C-Se cross-couplings via the formation of electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes have been developed. The visible-light induced reactions can be applied for the synthesis of a series of unsymmetrical diaryl selenides...
