    Abstract:
    Charge-transfer (CT) complexes formed from the reactions of 4-nitropyrocatechol (4-nCat) as an electron acceptor with four amino alcohols: 2-aminoethanol, 1-amino-2-propanol, 4-aminobutanol and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,3-diaminopropane (NHEDAP) as electron donors, have been studied spectrophotometrically in H(2)O and H(2)O/EtOH at 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 degrees C. The calculated values of the oscillator strength and transition moment confirm the formation of CT-complexes. The thermodynamic and spectroscopic parameters were also evaluated for the formation of CT-complexes. The equilibrium constants ranged from 9.00 to 2.20 l mol(-1) (M(-1)). These interactions are exothermic and have relatively large standard enthalpy and entropy changes (DeltaH values ranged from -15.58 to -3.10 kJ mol(-1); DeltaS ranged from 26.81 to -3.25 J K(-1)mol(-1)). The solid CT-complexes have been synthesized and characterized by IR, NMR, mass spectrometry and thermal analysis. The photometric titration curves and other spectrometric data for the reactions indicated that the data obtained refer to the formation of 1:1 charge-transfer complex of [(4-nCat) (NHEDAP)] and 1:2 charge-transfer complexes of other amino alcohols [(4-nCat) (amino alcohol)(2)]. The effect of alkali and alkaline earth metals on increasing the equilibrium constant of the CT-complexation was also investigated.
