The infrared and electronic absorption spectra of semicarbazide
hydrochloride and its complexes with anthracene,
tetracyanoquinodimethane TCNQ, Na-fluorescein and cupferron were
recorded in the regions 200–4000cm-1 and
200–400nm. The new bands that appeared in the complex spectra
were assigned. The effect of the complex formation on the frequency
and intensity of the active vibrational bands was also studied. The
internal energy changes of the complexes were calculated in a new line
of calculation to give a clear insight about the stability of the
investigated complexes.The electrical conductivity of the complexes was measured in the temperature range 25–130°C. The activation energy E was calculated and discussed on the basis of the spectroscopic information.
