The Physicochemical Properties on the Organic, Charge Transfer Complexes under High Pressure

The effect of pressure and temperature on the stabilities of hexamethylbenzene-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene charge transfer complex in carbon tetrachloride has been investigated by spectrophotometric measurements. The absorption spectra of charge transfer complexes were measured at 25, 40, under 1, 200, 500, 1000, 1400 bar in this experiments. The equilibrium constants of the complex were increased with pressure and decreased with temperature rising. The absorption coefficients were increased with pressure and temperature. Change of volume, enthalpy, free energy and entropy for the formation of complexes were calculated from the equilibrium constants. The red-shift observed at a higher pressure, the blue-shift at a higher temperature and the relation between pressure and oscillator strength were discussed by means of thermodynamic fuctions.
