Abstract:
The interaction between 7,7',8,8'-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and oxamniquine (I), azithromycin (II), omeprazole (III), pantoprazole (IV), and benzydamine hydrochloride (V) was investigated. The reaction conditions were optimized to obtain typical charge transfer complexes (CTC). The nature of the formed complexes was proved by thorough study of the thermodynamic parameters namely delta G (free energy), delta H (enthalpy), and delta S (entropy). The association constant KcAD and the molar absorptivity xi lambda AD of the formed complexes were determined using the Benesi-Hildbrand equation. The effect of temperature on these constants gave evidence of CTC formation. The reaction of TCNQ with I-V was found to be in 1:1; as being determined by the Foster method. Spectrophotometric measurements of the formed CTC were used for the quantitative determination of the studied drugs in both pure or pharmaceutical formulation. The mean percentage recoveries were 99.17 +/- 0.34, 99.75 +/- 0.12, 100.52 +/- 0.41, 98.75 +/- 0.63, and 99.23 +/- 62 for I, II, III, IV, and V, respectively. There was no significant difference observed when the method was statistically compared with the official and reference methods used to determine these drugs.

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
