Abstract

The choice of the metal ion M and the terminal Y and donor X chalcogen species (M = Ni, Pt; X, Y = S, Se) in square-planar complexes with 1,3-dimethyl-2-chalcogenoxo-imidazoline-4,5-dichalcogenolates allows fine-tuning both the redox stability and the energy of the peculiarly intense NIR electrochromic absorption, thanks to the subtle contribution of M, X, and Y to the relevant frontier molecular orbitals, investigated at IEF-PCM DFT and TD-DFT level.
