class [M(R-dmet)2] [R-dmet = formally monoreduced N-substituted
thiazolidine-2,4,5-trithione; R = Et, M = Ni (1), Pd (2), Pt (3)]. A
comparative spectroscopic, electrochemical, and density functional
theory theoretical investigation indicates that [M(R-dmet)2] complexes show features intermediate between those of the dithiolenes
belonging to the previously reported classes [M(R,R‘-timdt)2] and
[M(dmit)2] (R,R‘-timdt = formally monoreduced N,N‘-disubstituted
imidazolidine-2,4,5-trithione; dmit = 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolato). UV−vis−near-IR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry/differential pulsed voltammetry measurements performed on 1 and
3 proved that the new dithiolenes are stable as neutral, monoanionic, and bianionic species and feature a near-IR electrochromic
absorption falling at about 1000 and 1250 nm for neutral and
monoanionic species, respectively.
