RESUMO
The first step of electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions generally involves the formation of charge transfer complexes. Tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) in the presence of aromatic amines forms π-type complexes that subsequently lead to tricyanovinylation reaction. Although this kind of reaction was investigated in the past, the spectroscopic characterization of the charge transfer complexes is still lacking, since in many cases the first step of the reaction is too fast to allow their characterization by conventional techniques. In this paper, it is shown the UV-Vis and resonance Raman characterization of the charge transfer complexes formed between TCNE and substituted anilines. The magnitude of the charge transfer could be linearly correlated with the electronic absorpion energies, as well as to the Raman shifts observed for the characteristic ν(C≡N) mode of TCNE. In addition, the results were correlated to ionization potentials of amines, and theoretical calculations by density functional theory/time-dependent density functional theory (DFT/TDDFT) methods were performed to support the experimental data.
