31. In acetonitrile the typical band of ligand 1 can also be observed. However, in the spectra of the complex this band shows a reduced intensity (<2% with respect to the intensity of the free ligand), but at the same time shows an unquenched excited-state lifetime and a corrected excitation spectrum that is proportional to that of the ligand. These findings are a clear indication that such a signal is due to the small portion of the ligand in the solvent that is not complexed. In dichloromethane, in which the association is stronger, the contribution of this band is almost negligible.
