Abstract :
With the aim of significantly improving the applications of charge transfer complexes (CTCs) in the field of electrical and optoelectronic, in the present work we have studied a charge transfer (CT) interaction between organic donor molecules and molecular iodine. In this content, 1,1,4,4-Tetraphenyl-1,3-Butadiene (TPB) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO) as donor molecules were reacted with I2 to form CTCs. The resulting compounds were characterized by spectral analysis (FT-IR, NMR and UV-Visible spectroscopy). The obtained CTCs have been used to measure band-gap and refractive index values. The observed values indicate possible applicability of tee studied CTCs in the field of optoelectronics.
