Abstract

Iodine complexes of imidazoles in chloroform were studied by using the constant activity method. The equilibrium constants and the extinction coefficients of the complexes were determined and the results are compared with those obtained by using conventional spectral method. It was found that the equilibrium constants increase as the donor strength increases, while the extinction coefficients decrease. This behavior was interpreted in terms of molecular structure of the donor molecule.
