Frontispiece: Boosting Vis/NIR Charge-Transfer Absorptions of Iron(II) Complexes by N-Alkylation and N-Deprotonation in the Ligand Backbone

Electron-rich and -poor tridentate ligands with large bite angles give blue iron(II) complexes with low energy MLCT states. The electron-donating power of the electron-rich ligand is further increased by deprotonation in the ligand's backbone, yielding intensely green iron(II) complexes with absorption bands in the near-IR region. According to time-dependent DFT calculations, these bands are of dipole-allowed ligand-to-ligand CT character. Exploiting this low-energy CT state might be a novel strategy towards potentially luminescent iron(II) complexes. For more details, see the Full Paper by K. Heinze et al. on page 7920 ff.
