A spectroscopic study of the charge-transfer complex of anthracene and sym-trinitrobenzene

Complexes of aromatic hydrocarbons (donors) with electron acceptors such as 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TNB) are stabilized principally by resonance between a dative and a "no-bond" wave function: ϕN = a ψ օ (DA) + b ψ ₁ (D⁺A⁻) By means of second-order perturbation theory it can be shown th...
