In computational chemistry, non-additive and cooperative effects can be defined in terms of a (differential) many-body expansion of the energy or any other physical property of the molecular system of interest. One-body terms describe energies or properties of the subsystems, two-body terms describe non-additive but pairwise contributions and three-body as well as higher-order terms can be interpreted as a measure for cooperativity. In the present article, this concept is applied to the analysis of ultraviolet/visible (UV/Vis) spectra of homotrinuclear transition-metal complexes by means of a many-body expansion of the change in the spectrum induced by replacing each of the three transition-metal ions by another transition-metal ion to yield a different homotrinuclear transition-metal complex. Computed spectra for the triangulo-complexes [M-3{Si(mt(Me))(3)}(2)] (M=Pd/Pt, mt(Me)=methimazole) and tritopic triphenylene-based N-heterocyclic carbene Rh/Ir complexes illustrate the concept, showing large and small differential three-body cooperativity, respectively.
