B. Nowicka et al., SOLVENT EFFECTS ON THE PIEZOCHROMISM OF MOLYBDENUM(IV) AND TUNGSTEN(IV) ANIONS [M(CN)(3)O(DIIMINE)](-), Transition metal chemistry, 23(3), 1998, pp. 317-319
Solvatochromism of the [Mo(CN)(3)O(phen)](-) ion has been studied. Sol
vent effects on pressure dependence (up to 1.25 kbar) of wavelengths o
f maximum absorption for charge-transfer bands of several molybdenum(I
V) and tungsten(IV) complexes, [M(CN)(3)O(diimine)](-)(M = Mo or W), a
re described. The effects of applied pressure are larger for less pola
r unstructured solvents than for highly polar hydrogen-bonded solvents
.
