Abstract:
The enthalpies of formation of charge-transfer complexes of benzene, chlorobenzene, and 1,3-dichlorobenzene
as donors with 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane as acceptor were determined. The thermochemical
data show an increased stability of charge-transfer complexes of donors with permanent dipole moment.
The results confirm the importance of electrostatic forces in bonding and stabilizing weak complexes.
The approximate formation constants of the complexes are also reported.
