Ground state charge transfer complex of [84]fullerene and N,N-diethylaniline

Abstract

The formation of the [84]fullerene–N,N-diethylaniline ground state charge transfer complex at different N,N-diethylaniline concentrations and temperatures has been studied by absorption spectroscopy and by use of a chemometric method principal component analysis to determine the absorption spectrum of the complex and the thermodynamic parameters of the C84 monomer–complex equilibrium.
