Preparation and Spectroscopic Studies of Charge-Transfer Complexes of Thiamine Hydrochloride with Different Electron Acceptor

Resumo

Abstract—Electronic interactions associated with charge transfer complexes formation of iodine, chloranilic acid (H₂CA) and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) with vitamin B1 have been studied spectrophotometrically. The accumulated data indicated formation of CT-complexes of the general formula [(VB1)(acceptor)_n], (n = 1 or 2). The 1 : 2 and 1 : 1 donor: acceptor molar ratios were calculated on the basis of elemental analysis and photometric titrations. The solid complexes were prepared and characterized by their conductivity, UV-Vis, IR, and ¹H NMR spectra, and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA, DTG). The characteristic physical constants (K_CT, ε_CT, μ, ΔG, I_p, f, E_CT) of the formed CT-complexes were determined to be strongly dependent on nature of the electron acceptors.
