title: Expanding family of π-conjugated trinuclear dithiolenes: the cases of group 8 (Ru(II)) and 10 (Ni(II) and Pt(II)) metals.
abstract: New π-conjugated trinuclear dithiolenes with group 8 (6, Ru(II)) and 10 (7 and 8, Ni(II) and Pt(II)) metals were synthesized. Compounds 6 and 7 exhibited intense electronic communication through the phenylene bridge among the three dithiolene moieties during oxidation of the metalladithiolene rings, which has not been confirmed in the analogous family of group 9 metals, 1-5. Compound 8 exhibited an intense absorption band across the visible and near-IR regions, which was assigned as a charge transfer to the diimine and was red-shifted and broadened compared to the corresponding band of the mononuclear complex.
