Abstract

The electronic structures and spectra of a series of nickel (II) complexes, (POCOPR)NiX (X = Br, 1; CN, 2; OSO2CF3, 3; OC(O)CH3, 4; ONO2, 5; C≡CPh, 6; Br, 7; OSO2CF3, 8; OC(O)CH3, 9; R = Ph, 1–6; i-Pr, 7–9) have been investigated by DFT (Density Functional Theory) and TD-DFT (Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory) methods. Several DFT and TD-DFT functionals are tested in this work to select one with high performance/costs ratio for these complexes. The effect of different primary and secondary ligands on transition characters and absorption peak positions is studied.
