Abstract

Interaction of nicotine with tetracyanoethylene and iodine was investigated spectrophotometrically and found to form strong CT complexes (n−π and n-σ*, respectively). The donor site involved in CT interaction is the pyrrolidine nitrogen. The nicotine-I2 complex exists as the ionic structure (nicotine) I+-I 3 . Formation constants of the CT complexes in various solvents were determined from 10 to 25°C and are discussed in terms of the nature of the electron acceptor and solvent polarity. Solid CT complexes were synthesized and were characterized by microchemical analysis and infrared spectra techniques.
