We developed a TEMPO-bound dithiolate ligand (= tempodt) and its Pt(diimine)(dithiolate) complex to realize a unique electronic structure with the potential for unprecedented functionalities. The physical properties and electronic structures of tempodt, (tempodt)Pt, and their related compounds were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, UV-visible spectroscopy, electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, and other techniques. It was revealed that (tempodt)Pt showed an unusual electronic structure in which the HOMO level (= pi-conjugated dithiolate-based orbital) was located above the SOMO level attributed to the TEMPO moiety, and that this situation was achieved via a drastic electronic structure change of SOMO-HOMO level conversion through complex formation. These findings were further supported by an investigation into a one-electron oxidized (tempodt)Pt and related complexes.
