Abstract
The reactions between T1X (X = Cl, Br, or I) and substituted imidazoles [(2-methyl-imidazole (2-Me-Im), 2-phenyl-imidazole (2-Phen-Im), 2-ethyl-imidazole (2-Et-Im), 1,2-dimethyl-imidazole (1,2-Me2-Im) and l-methyl-2-phenyl-imidazole (1-Me,2-Phen-Im)] in various donor-acceptor molar ratios have been studied. The complexes formed have been characterized by elemental analysis. The complexes are monomeric solids and non-electrolytes in acetonitrile. Possible structures are discussed on the basis of H NMR and i.r. spectroscopy and comparison with structures in the literature.
