ABSTRACT
The synthesis, structures and electronic characterization of three strongly coloured, pseudo-octahedral Ni(ii) complexes supported by redox-active diarylamido ligands featuring benzannulated N-heterocyclic donor arms are reported. The S = 1 paramagnets each present two singly occupied molecular orbitals (SOMOs) identified as metal-based by density functional theory (DFT), consistent with solid-state and solution magnetism measurements. Upon applying oxidative potentials, non-Aufbau behaviour leads to the appearance of intense and well-defined absorption features extending into the near IR (NIR). The attribution of these features to the onset of aminyl radical character through ligand-based redox is corroborated by exceptionally strong intervalence charge-transfer (IVCT) transitions ascribed to electronic communication between two Namido moieties across a Ni(ii) bridge.
