Resumo

The spectrophotometric and thermodynamic properties of charge—transfer complexes of iodine and aromatic hydrocarbons have been reinvestigated in heptane solvent to make a correlation between the oscillator strength of charge—transfer bands and the heats of formation of the complexes. The results disagree with Mulliken's prediction. An attempt has been made to calculate the thermodynamic as well as spectrophotometric properties of these complexes free from the influence of iodine—solvent interaction and the results thus obtained show a good correlation between the oscillator strength of charge—transfer bands and the heats of formation of the complexes.
