Front Cover: Spectrochemical Properties and Solvatochromism of Tetradentate Schiff Base Complex with Nickel: Calculations and Experiments (ChemistryOpen 9/2018)

The Front Cover shows the idea of using the features of white light (in the visible range) in chemistry to determine the properties of chemical compounds. The quantitative interpretation of color is made on the basis of chromaticity coordinates calculated from electronic spectra in the visible range. The electronic spectra are a source of information about the structure of the compound and its interactions in the solution, because the shape of a spectrum depends on the geometry of the molecule. Changing the parameters of the bands in the spectrum implies a change in color. More information can be found in the Full Paper by A. Gonciarz et al. on page 677 in Issue 9, 2018 (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1002/open.201800100).[Image: see text]
