Charge transfer (CT) complexes of aniline blue (AB) were prepared with standard organic acceptors such as TCNQ, TCNE, DDQ, and chloranil and studied with UV-VIS-NIR spectra showing sigma ->pi* and pi ->pi* transitions along with free-carrier absorption due to scattering of light particles which has been found involving phonon-photon, electron-photon, and electron-electron scattering. Infrared spectra contain half power beta density due to hopping conduction and an asymmetric band corresponding to A(k) = A(0)k exp(-bk) as absorption associated with diffraction of IR light from the crystalline particles.
