2,6-Dichloro-4-nitrophenyl-Amine System

Our observation time is limited to the duration of the fluorescence, which means, practically, that we cannot observe the variation of the rotational temperature beyond 400 to 500 nsec. With 22 Torr of helium the Boltzmann equilibrium is not reached before 300 nsec. Figure 4 shows that in all cases, at least in the time region where the Boltzmann equilibrium is observed, the highest CH (A2A)rotational temperature observed is 2780 f 140’K around 100 nsec. The energy of dissociation according to one of the mechanisms 1-4, appearing as rotational energy of the fragment CH (A2A),is thus equal to 5.5 f 0.1 kcal mol-’, in good agreement with the value measured by Beenakker (2700 f 150’K; i.e., 5.4 kcal mol-l).

Ultraviolet Spectra and Proton-Transfer Equilibria in 2,6- Dichioro-4-nitraphenol-Amine Systems H. Romanowski and L. Sobczyk’ Institute of Chemistry, University of Wroclaw, 50-383 Wroclaw, Poland (Received December 13, 1974)

Hydrogen-bonded complexes formed between 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroghenol and amines, of 1:l and 1:2 composition, were studied using uv spectroscopy. Parallel to the proton-transfer equilibrium within the hydrogen bonding, a proton detachment from the phenol molecule due to formation of homoconjugated cations is distinctly observed. This process is particularly favored by increasing the electric permittivity of the solvent. A linear correlation between the logarithm of the proton-transfer equilibrium constant and the ionization potential of the amine has been found for systems without steric hindrances. Triethylamine and sym- collidine do not form homoconjugated cations.

Introduction The problem of proton-transfer equilibria in the phenolamine systems has been already dealt with in a number of papers. Particular attention was paid to the electronic and to the dipole moment^^-^^ of the complexes formed. Though the conditions employed in both methods are somewhat different, the results obtained indicated definitely that, for a certain ApK, value of the reacting components and at a specific solvent activity, there is a protontransfer equilibrium in the complex A H . . . B =+ A- ...H-B+ The proton abstraction from phenol is most evident in the uv spectra; there is a strong bathochromic shift of the lowfrequency c c* band and its intensity increases. Apart of the formation of the simple AH-B adduct, some additional complexation equilibria may appear in a reacting mixture of phenols and amines. A t excess phenol concentrations (AH),-B complexes may be formed and this always favors the proton transfer

Also in this case a stimulated proton transfer can take place, the more so as for primary and secondary amines additional stabilization with the A- anion by “coordination” of a great number of amine molecules occurs. The results obtained so far by means of the ir, conductometric, and potentiometric methods suggest that the most stable species is a complex [BHB]+ ion with a dynamically symmetric hydrogen bonding. It is, however, still unclear which factors affect the stability of this bonding and, hence, the stability of the complex ion. An interesting and important problem is also the effect of the molecular environment on the equilibria in question. It is certain that this is one of the dominant factors on which the proton transfer depends.6 The solvent activity is itself a decisive effect on the formation of the [BHB]+ ion since this process requires, in fact, the ionization to take place. A number of spectroscopic studies have been made using 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol (DCNP), pK, = 3.68, as an acid agent.l* However, the equilibria have not been fully defined.

C c 4 ( E D 2.2), 172-dichloroethane ( E D 10.4), and mixtures of these compounds at a 1:2 ratio ( E D 8.2) were used as solvents. Application of more polar solvents is, as a rule, equivalent to a distinct increase of electron donor-acceptor properties of the medium and should lead to additional complications arising from solvent-solute specific interactions.

Experimental Section 2,6-Dichloro-4-nitrophenol (Fluka) was purified by crystallizing it from ethanol and dried in a vacuum desiccator over anhydrous MgS04. The amines were distilled before each series of measurements over KOH. Solvents cc14 and C2H4C12 (FOCh Gliwice, Analar grade) were dried at first over P205 and then distilled, collecting the fractions boiling at 77 and 86OC, respectively, and dried and stored over freshly prepared molecular sieves. The measurements were carried out on a Zeiss-Specord spectrophotometer in the 38000-20000-~m-~range, in silica cells 1 cm thick. Phenol solutions (5 x lW5 M ) and amine solutions of concentrations 5-1 X 10-5 M were prepared immediately before measurement. Only in such conditions are repeatable results obtained. Some irreversible changes which occur in the solution after storing it for a longer time are presumably caused by photochemical reactions.

secondary amines. Equilibrium scheme I is preserved, but for amines with active proton-donor groups, the formation of complexes with more amine molecules occurs. This applies in particular to the B and C states. Now, let us examine the behavior of DCNP toward particular amines in the three selected environments, i.e., C c 4 , C2H4C12, and a 1:2 mixture of these solvents. The spectral characteristics of the DCNP-py systems are illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. In the case of nonpolar carbon tetrachloride, the A * B equilibrium is merely very weakly marked and the C state does not appear even at high excess amine concentrations. The sensitivity of the equilibrium of an intramolecular proton transfer on the polarity of the environment is manifested by an evident effect of the polar pyridine concentration on the concentration of the B state.

Dependence of the molar absorption coefficient e for DCNP complexes with collidine on excess of amine concentrations (B 25000 cm-l) Flgure 8.

The behavior of DCNP in the presence of diethylamine (DEA) is not quite clear (Figure 6). The studies of Coetzee, Padmanabhan, and Cunninghamla indicate that DEA may only to a slight extent form the complex cations. The spectral changes occurring at high DEA concentrations could not be explained as due only to a drastic change in the polarity of the environment and to quite different solvation conditions. Also in this case a B ==C equilibrium probably exists but to a much lesser extent. In the case of collidine, the B == C equilibrium is again invisible, though at high excess concentrations of this base a bathochromic shift of the band takes place. This applies particularly to CC4. The weakest effect is found for ethylene chloride (Figure 7). This effect may be ascribed to the polarity changes due to the high dipole moment of colli-

An increase in polarity is manifested both by a drastic change in the equilibrium constant K* and by only a slight increase in the molar extinction coefficient. An attempt was made to determine quantitatively the proton equilibria occurring in the systems under investigation. The results given in Table I1 are the average values of equilibrium constants calculated from the spectra at various wavelengths by the Rose-Drago method.25The values of K* constants (eq 1) given in Table I1 were calculated from the peak band intensity of the form B, and the values of K*2 constants (eq 2), from the C band intensity (for such reactions the Rose-Drago equation assumes a form presented in ref 23). In eq 1 and 2 Coph and C O B are the initial concentrations of the DCNP and amine, respectively, E is the observed absorbance at given wavelength, and tC and Cph are the molar absorption coefficients of the formed complex and of the DCNP, respectively.

the most accurate for reasons given in the description of spectra. From the assumed model it follows that in the first equilibrium one amine molecule participates per phenol molecule, while in the second equilibrium about two amine molecules participate on the average. The estimated error in the log K values given in Table I1 can reach even f0.3. The error is serious, as the equilibria dealt with are fairly complicated. As expected, both of these equilibrium constants increase with the increasing solvent polarity, I t is more difficult to determine the effect of amine basicity on the K* equilibrium constant since, apart from the proton-transfer process alone, the autosolvation effects become evident, particularly for the primary and secondary amines. Nevertheless, as shown in Figure 9, there is an approximately linear correlation between log K* (determining the free energy of the proton transfer) and the amine ionization potential,26which is the most reasonable quantity to express the amine basicity in nonaqueous solution. A distinct abnormal deviation from linearity occurs for the DCNP complexes with TEA. Disregarding the errors resulting from the calculations of the equilibrium constants, the reason for such a deviation is most probably steric hindrances which are drastically manifested by the absence of the B C equilibrium. The effect of the steric structure of the amine on the complex-forming ability with phenols has also been observed by Lin and It seems, however, that the steric effect becomes significant already in the secondary amines. There is also a linear correlation between log K2* and IDbut with a lower inclination.

Conclusions In the present work the acid-base equilibria in the 2,6dichloro-4-nitrophenol-aminessystems were investigated. The following points were demonstrated. (1) In the presence of excess amine and a t low phenol concentration, the complexation process occurs in three

stages, the determining steering factor being the formation of the [BHB]+ cations and “release” of the phenolate ion PhO-. (2) The type of the equilibrium is strongly affected by the solvent-an increase in the solvent polarity facilitates the proton transfer and the formation of cations and anions. (3) The appearance of the B C equilibrium depends to a large extent on the steric structure of the amine. ( 4 ) The behavior of the aliphatic and aromatic (cyclic) amines is different-aliphatic amines interact with the “free” phenolate ions to reverse the equilibrium. (5) The presence of particular stages and the stability of the complexes formed depend, above all, on the acidity of phenols and basicity of amines. (6) There is an approximately linear relationship between the logarithm of equilibrium constant and the amine ionization potential, the equilibrium constant K* of the intramolecular proton transfer being increased more rapidly than the K2* constant with increasing amine basicity (decreasing ID).
