Spectrophotometric study of interaction of iodine with 4′-aminobenzo-15-crown-5 in chloroform, dichloromethane and 1,2-dichloroethane solutions
文摘
The formation of charge transfer complex between 4′-aminobenzo-15-crown-5 (AB15C5) and iodine is investigated spectrophotometrically in chloroform, dichloromethane (DCM) and 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) solutions at 25 °C. The continuous variation method clearly revealed the formation of 1:1 charge transfer complex in solution. The observed time dependence of the charge transfer band and subsequent formation of I3− in solution were related to the slow transformation of the initially formed 1:1 AB15C5·I2outer complex to an inner electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complex, followed by fast reaction of the inner complex with iodine to form a triiodide ion. The pseudo-first-order rate constants for the transformation process were evaluated from the absorbance–time data and found to vary in the order of 1,2-DCE > DCM > CHCl3. The values of the formation constant, KDA, for each complex are evaluated from Benesi–Hilebrand equation. Stability of the resulting complex in three solvents was also found to vary in the order of 1,2-DCE > DCM > CHCl3.
