Multiple and sequential charge transfer interactions occurring in situ: A redox reaction of thiazolidine-2-thione with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone
摘要:
Interaction of thiazolidine-2-thione (T2T) as an electron donor with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) as an electron pi-acceptor has been studied. Electronic absorption spectra of the system T2T-DDQ in several organic solvents of different polarities have been measured. A charge transfer (CT) complexation has occurred between T2T and DDQ This CT interaction has led to a redox reaction in which T2T has been oxidized to the corresponding dehydrogenated T2T (T2T-2H), meanwhile DDQ has been fully reduced to the corresponding hydroquinone (DDQH(2)). However, the two new species, resulting in situ, have been interacted, whereas a CT complex having the formula (T2T-2H.DDQH(2)) has occurred. IR. H-1 NMR and mass spectra were used for ascertaining the structural formula of the synthesized CT complex. Formation constants (K-CT), molar absorption coefficients (epsilon(CT)) and thermodynamic properties of this CT interaction in various organic solvents were determined and discussed. The obtained K-CT and epsilon(CT) values have indicated that T2T-2H is a weak CT donor, whereas the formed CT complex has a low stability and it is classified as a contact-type CT complex.
