“…Among the former whose color changes are due to those of d-d transitions, copper(II) complexes with a strong JahnTeller effect can be anticipated to show simple and regular changes in their electronic spectra according to the strength of interactions with solvent molecules at the axial sites. [6][7][8] There are many applications for this phenomenon such as Lewis acid-base color indicator, 9 imaging, [10][11][12][13] photoswitching, [14][15][16] and sensor materials. 17 It has been known that wave numbers corresponds to absorption maxima of the compounds in solvents of used correlate well with the solvent parameters.…”
