Abstract
HEXAFLUROBENZENE acts as an electron acceptor in forming charge transfer complexes with aromatic amines1. In complexes with certain of the amines the charge transfer absorption consists of two bands as shown in Fig. 1 for the hexafluorobenzene-N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMT) complex. Table 1 shows the positions of the two bands and the splitting between them for hexafluorobenzene complexes with DMT, N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) and N,N-diethylaniline (DEA).
