Notes:
A charge-transfer-type complex formation between poly(4-vinyl-N-propylpyridinium bromide) (C3PVP), poly(4-vinyl-N-butylpyridinium bromide) (C4PVP) or poly(4-vinyl-N-benzylpyridinium chloride) (BzPVP), and indole derivatives or between polymer containing flavin mononucleotide residues and indole derivatives was studied in the presence of simple and polyelectrolytes. The association constant (K) of the complex formation with indole acetate increased in the order BzPVP 〉 C4PVP 〉 C3PVP, which indicated an important contribution by hydrophobic interaction. The addition of simple and polyelectrolytes decreased the association constants. This was explained by the “secondary salt effect” of the salts. The importance of the electrostatic interactions in the complexation systems was obvious. The influence of simple electrolytes on the K values was discussed theoretically according to Manning's theory.
