The reaction of ferric(III) acetylacetonate (donor), Fe(acac)3, with iodine as a sigma-acceptor and with other different pi-acceptors have been studied spectrophotometrically at room temperature in chloroform. The pi-acceptors used in this investigation are 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), p-chloranil and 7,7',8,8'-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ). The results indicate the formation of 1:1 charge-transfer complexes with a general formula, [Fe(acac)3 (acceptors)]. The iodine complex was shown to contain the triiodide species, [Fe(acac)3]2I(+)I3-, based on the electronic absorptions as well as on the Far-infrared absorption bands characteristic for the non-linear triiodide species, I3-, with C2v symmetry. The proposed structure of this complex is further supported by thermal and middle infrared measurements.

For paediatric patients suffering from neurofibromatosis, Selumetinib (SEL) is the only approved drug. Here an original ecofriendly and high pace method is introduced using 96- microwell spectrophotometric assay (MW-SPA) to measure SEL content in bulk and commercial pharmaceutical formulation (Koselugo capsules). This assay was relied on in-microwell formation of a coloured charge transfer complex (CTC) upon interaction of SEL with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ).

Triplet-sensitization has been proven invaluable for creating photoswitches operated over a full visible-light spectrum. While designing efficient triplet-sensitizers is crucial for establishing visible-light photochromism, it remains an appealing yet challenging task. In this work, we propose a versatile strategy to fabricate triplet-sensitizers with intermolecular charge-transfer complexes (CTCs).

Photoinduced metal-to-ligand (or ligand-to-metal) charge-transfer (CT) states in metal complexes have been extensively studied toward the development of luminescent materials. However, previous studies have mainly focused on CT transitions between d- and π-orbitals. Herein, we report the demonstration of CT emission from 4f- to π-orbitals using a trivalent europium (Eu(III)) complex, supported by both experimental and theoretical analyses.

Nowadays, benzimidazole and its derivatives are widely assembled into multifunctional materials with various properties such as mechanochromism, photochromism, thermochromism and electrochromism. Herein, two novel zinc(II) coordination compounds, [Zn(L)Br]·2HO (1) and [Zn(L)Cl]·2HO (2) (L = tetra(1-benzo[]imidazol-2-yl)ethene), have been constructed one-pot facile synthesis from bis(1-benzo[]imidazol-2-yl)methane (L) and zinc(II) salts. The ligand L with a CC double bond was formed by C-C coupling of two sp-C atoms of L in solvothermal synthesis, which provides a new strategy to generate the conjugation system conveniently.
