Abstract

The ligand-exchange reaction has been investigated to synthesize nickel bis(dithiolene) complexes bearing one hydroxyl functional group aimed at being grafted thereafter onto polymer materials. This reaction leads easily to heteroleptic complexes with the ethylene-1,2-dithiolato core substituted by either alkyl or aryl moieties. Details on synthetic parameters are given. A direct link between the electronic properties of the obtained molecules and those of the parent complexes involved in the ligand-exchange reaction is highlighted and also demonstrates that this reaction is a powerful method for preparing nickel complexes with tailor-made frontier orbital energies.
