A series of copper(II) solvatochromic complexes [Cu(acac)((NN)-N-boolean AND)(ligand)]BPh4 (acac = acetylacetonato; (NN)-N-boolean AND= 1,10-phenanthoroline (1), 2,2'-bipyridyl (2); ligand = HMPA, pyridine, DMSO, DMF, MeCH, acetone, and MeCN) have been synthesized and their coordination geometries were crystallographically investigated. The solvent-coordinated cations, adopting a five-coordinate square-pyramidal structure, formed head-to-tail dimers via pi...pi interactions. Solid-state absorption studies revealed that their d-d transition energies are correlated with the donor number of the axial ligands. A linear correlation was found between the d-d transition energies and the Cu-O (axial ligands) distances in the solid-state, revealing the role of the coordination environment on the d-d transition energies in the copper(II) solvatochromic complexes.
