Abstract
Based on DFT quantum chemical calculations, data on the structures and properties of charge transfer complexes of 9H-fluoren-9-one derivatives with с 9-methyl-9H-carbazole are obtained. Formation energies of the complexes, average distances between donor and acceptor planes, donor-to-acceptor chargeа transfer values are calculated. Crystal and molecular structures of the 2,4,7-trinitro-9H-fluoren-9-one complex with 9-methyl-9H-carbazole (C13H5N3O7·C13H11N) are determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Donor and acceptor molecules form mixed stacks {–D–A–D–A–}∞ in the crystalline complex where the average interplanar distance D⋯A is 3.30 Å.
