Description: The formation of charge-transfer (CT) complexes between N-methyl-6,7-methylenedioxy-tetrahydro-4-isoquinolone (MMDTIQ, the model molecule of alkaloids) and iodine monochloride has been studied with the density functional B3LYP method. The competition for ICI between n-donor(s) and pi-donor in the same molecule has been compared for the first time. The results indicate that the electron-donating ability of various donor sites decreases in the following order: amino nitrogen > carbonyl oxygen > etheric oxygen approximate to aromatic ring. Complexes with a stoichiometry of 1 : 1 to 1 : 5 (MMDTIQ-ICI) might form. Among complexes with a given stoichiometry, the one in which the phenyl ring is involved in the binding is always the least stable. According to these results, in order to ensure an alkaloid iodinated, the amount of ICI should be far beyond that of alkaloids and a low polar solvent should be used, which is quite in agreement with our recent experimental results.
