This blending results in complementary π-electron donor-acceptor interactionsbetween triphenylene groups and metal-bipyridine/phenanthroline acceptor units through charge-transfer in-teractions. Our approach involved tuning the LUMO energy level of the acceptor molecule, covering a total of140 acceptor molecules, by varying the metal (Pt or Pd), the aromatic nature of the ligand (bipyridine or phe-nanthroline) and the functionalization of the ligand with common electron-donor or electron-withdrawingfunctional groups. We employed a combined methodology based on extended tight-binding methods (xTB)and Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) to characterize UV–Vis absorption features andperceived color of hybrid organic/inorganic columnar mesophases as influenced by the chemical structure of theacceptor unit.
