Abstract:
New antimony(V) complexes, 1 and 2, containing the redox-active ligands N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-phenylenediamine (LH4) and glyoxal-bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylanil) (L'H2), respectively, were synthesized and characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis showed that complexes 1 and 2 exhibit distorted pentagonal bipyramidal structures. These complexes contain a tetradentate, redox-active ONNO ligand that, doubly deprotonated, forms a dianion with a nearly planar core. The UV/vis/NIR absorption spectra of 1 and 2 demonstrate intense bands in the 500-1000 nm range attributed to intraligand charge transfer (ILCT). Electrochemical analysis demonstrates the redox-amphoteric properties of complexes 1 and 2. Complex 1 also exhibits efficient photothermal conversion (η = 57%) under 808 nm laser irradiation.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
