Charge transfer spectra of organometallic complexes—IX. Evaluation of solvent effects on the electron donor—acceptor interactions between trimethyltinisothiocyanate and iodine

Abstract

Abstract Charge transfer energies of trimethyltinisothiocyanate—iodine complexes in solution are found to depend on the nature of the solvent. The relationship of these solvent shifts with various solvent properties, and is discussed. Stabilization energies of the excited states in the different solvents are determined using the Onsager theory of dielectrics.
