Abstract
SEVERAL charge transfer complexes have been examined in this laboratory. This investigation has been concerned with the electrical and magnetic properties of these compounds as well as their syntheses. The p-chloranil–p-phenylenediamine complex has thus far been examined in greatest detail1. So far as the p-bromanil–p-phenylenediamine complex is concerned, measurements of its paramagnetism2 and electrical resistivity3–5 have been reported by various workers ; however, the literature contains little or no details concerning the preparation and especially the composition of this p-bromanil–p-phenylenediamine complex2,3,5,6. A 1:3 ratio of quinone to amine based on the carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen analyses has been postulated5. It is now shown that this particular complex has a 1:1 quinone to amine ratio with benzene included in the crystal lattice whereas the complex prepared by a special dry reaction has a 1:1 ratio without any solvent.
