The interaction of several aliphatic amines as n-donors and dinitrobenzenes (DNB) as π-acceptors has been studied in n-hexane. The formation of electron donor – acceptor (EDA) complexes is proposed to explain the spectroscopic behaviour of the mixtures. The stability constants (Ks) for these complexes have been calculated by an iterative procedure. For a given acceptor, the donor strength of RNH2 > R2NH > R3N was found. This order is explained by considering the role that steric effect may play in the EDA complex formation. On the other hand, the fact that for a given donor Ks follows the order 1,2-DNB > 1,3-DNB > 1,4-DNB, and that 1,2-DNB reacts with primary amines, led to the proposal of orientational complexes. These EDA complexes may be considered intermediates in aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions.

The interaction of several aliphatic amines as n-donors with 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-dicyanobenzenes as π acceptors in n-hexane has been studied. The spectroscopic behaviour of the mixtures leads us to propose that Electron Donor – Acceptor (EDA) complexes are formed. Correlations of the experimental data with the amine structure were performed for the amine–1,4-dicyanobenzene complexes. By means of free energy related substituents and regression analysis, the electronic and steric effects of three N-substituents were quantitatively separated. Thus, with K representing the stability constants of the complexes, the values of log K are correlated with Taft's polar substituent constants, σ*, and Hancock's corrected steric substituent constants, [Formula: see text] The results allowed the proposal of a probable structure of the complex, at least with respect to the donor orientation.

Eight new substituted bis(pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)amines have been prepared in one step condensation of 1-(hydroxymethyl)-3,5-disubstituted pyrazoles with a series of primary amines. The effect of substituents of divers bulkiness and electron donor/acceptor power that have been introduced to these tridentate molecules is visualised by 1H NMR spectroscopy.
