Thermodynamic properties of donor–acceptor complexes of tertiary amine with aryl ketones in hexane medium
Highlights
► Ultrasonic scan is carried out on ternary systems of aromatic tertiary amine and three aryl ketones. ► Formation of CT complexes is found between tertiary amine with aryl ketones. ► Stability constant values are computed by ultrasonic and spectral methods are compared. ► The trend in the ‘K’ suggests that substituents in ketones influence the stabilities of these complexes. ► The thermodynamic parameters suggest CT interaction is exothermic and the complexes are thermodynamically stable.
Introduction
The significance of charge transfer (CT) complexes in various industrial and biochemical reactions was reported in the literature [1], [2], [3], [4]. The formation of 1:1 complexes in solution was detected by the simple and low cost ultrasonic technique by several investigators [5], [6], [7]. The aromatic tertiary amine, N,N-dimethylaniline (DMANI) acts as a strong π-electron as well as n-electron donor due to the presence nitrogen as its basic center and also due to the presence of π-electrons of the aromatic ring. The formation of donor–acceptor complexes between DMANI and different types of acceptors has been investigated by various techniques [8], [9], [10]. In continuation of our earlier work [11], in the present study an attempt has been made to detect the possible interactions between DMANI with one of the strong polar groups viz., the carbonyl group of ketone. The ultrasonic investigation is carried out in n-hexane solutions containing equimolar concentrations of DMANI and aryl ketones at four different temperatures, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15 K. The trend in the thermo acoustic and their excess properties with concentration and temperature is discussed in terms of charge transfer between the components in the liquid mixtures. An attempt is made to confirm the complex formation in these ternary systems through UV–vis spectroscopic analysis at ambient temperature. The stability constants of the donor–acceptor complexes were calculated both by acoustic and spectral methods and the results are discussed. The stability constant values at different temperatures were used to calculate the free energy of formation (ΔG), enthalpy changes (ΔH) and entropy changes (ΔS) for the formation of these complexes.

Experimental
N,N-dimethylaniline and the solvent n-hexane used were of AnalaR grade samples (MERCK) with the purity of > 99.8%. The ketones were of spectrochem purity supplied by SD fine Chemicals. The chemicals were used in the present investigation without further purification. A single crystal variable path ultrasonic interferometer (Model F-81) operating at 2 MHz frequency supplied by Mittal Enterprises Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi, India was used to measure the ultrasonic velocities (u) of liquid mixtures with

Conclusion
The present investigation deals with determination of thermodynamic properties of charge transfer complexes formed between an aromatic tertiary amine, namely, N,N-dimethylaniline and three structurally different aromatic ketones in n-hexane medium by ultrasonic and UV–visible spectral methods. The formation constant values computed by ultrasonic and optical methods follow the same trend with structural variation in ketone.

2017, Chemical Data CollectionsCitation Excerpt :It has been suggested that for mixtures, only weak London type interactions exist for positive value of excess property while strong attractive interactions exist for negative value of excess properties that are likely to occur between the components [60,61]. The positive deviation in uE in the BEN-I2 system shows the existence of relatively weak CT interaction while in the other four (TOL-I2, OXYL-I2 MXYL-I2 MESI-I2) systems uE values are negative which shows that the CT interactions are stronger in these systems [62–65]. Thus the presence of methyl group in aromatic ring favors the formation of CT complex with iodine.
