Title:

On the Electron-Donating Properties of Indoles

Creator:

Szent-Gyorgyi, Albert, 1893-1986
Isenberg, Irvin

Date:

15 October 1960

Description:

In this study, Szent-Gyorgyi and Isenberg examined the charge-transfer behavior of indole, and speculated about why indole and some indole derivatives (such as serotonin and tryptophan) readily form charge-transfer complexes with substances like riboflavin, even though indole's structure does not predict such reactivity.
