The structural pressure-induced ionization process is implemented to produce Zn(III) complex for the first time and possible potential applications for technological advances are reported in this article. The inversion of the electron population observed at the ground state of the newly synthesized complex corroborates an unexplored material response property towards electrical and magnetic fields. The first-time report of a true transition metal behavior of zinc fetches new thoughts about zinc-based bio-enzymatic and bio-catalytic processes along with its material applications in untouched files like live cell imaging contrast agents, photocatalytic water splitting, etc. The methodology of the ‘ structural pressure-induced ionization process’ may be implemented for the synthesis of more unusual oxidation states of metals.
