The charge transfer (CT) complex or p-toluidine - chloranil (CA) was prepared by solution growth and microwave techniques and characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis, IR and (1)H NMR spectroscopic data. The data obtained indicated the formation of the CT complex having 1:1 stoichiometry. It indicates that the charge transfer interaction is associated with a proton migration from the acceptor to the donor followed by intermolecular hydrogen bonding. The CT complex was found to behave as semiconductor at room temperature.
