Abstract

The solid charge-transfer (CT) complexes of some anthracene derivatives with nitroaromatic acceptors were prepared. The ionization potential IP, electron affinity EA and energy of the CT transition for the donors, acceptors and CT complexes respectively were determined from the spectrophotometric measurements. In addition, the electrical properties of the CT complexes were investigated. The positive temperature coefficient of electrical conductivity (dσ/d T) found for all samples provides evidence of their semiconducting properties. A correlation between the spectrophotometric and conductivity parameters was established. The mechanism of the conduction process in these complexes was also studied.
