Abstract
The changes in the electronic transitions of three coordination compounds in various solvents are analyzed with the Unified Solvation model. The examples selected illustrate the influence of specific and non-specific solvation on the spectral shift. The Unified Solvation approach provides a quantitative way of determining whether the coordination complex is behaving as a donor, acceptor, or amphoterically in various solvents. The Unified solvation approach provides a quantitative procedure for evaluating the role of solvent, and this understanding allows one to optimize solvent selection for the multitude of physicochemical studies of coordination compounds.Keywords
