Abstract

This data article is related to a research paper entitled ``Correlations between spectroscopic data for charge-transfer complexes of two artificial sweeteners, aspartame and neotame, generated with several π-acceptors'' [J. Mol. Liq. 333 (2021) 115904] [1]. Herein we present stoichiometric data of charge-transfer (CT) complexes generated from the interaction between aspartame and neotame with three π-acceptors in methanol solvent at room temperature. The investigated π-acceptors were picric acid (PA), chloranilic acid (CA), and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ), where the methods used to determine the stoichiometry of the CT interaction were the spectrophotometric titration method and the Job's continuous variation method.

Keywords: Aspartame; Charge-transfer interaction; Job's continuous variation method; Neotame; Stoichiometry.
