Department of Chemistry, Fakir Chand College, Diamond Harbour-743 331, 24-Parganas (S), India Department of Chemistry. University of Kalyani, Kalyani-741 235, India Manuscript received 17 June 1999, revised 15 February 2000, accepted 13 June 2000 In order to understand the differential behaviour of the solvents on the stability of the molecular complexes, the association constants between chloranil and benzoic acid, salicylic acid have been determined in C6H6 + n-C6H14 mixtures (0-100%). The values change marginally with solvent composition and no positive correlation could be made
