The experimentally determined values for the bond lengths and the energy levels are summarized in Table 1.
The hydrogens are omitted for clarity. We identify it as a ps metal-centered quintet 5 MC state, and we refine the molecular structure of the excited-state complex verifying the DFT results.
The minor discrepancy between the data and the fit in the range 1. This combined progress in experimental and theoretical capabilities will benefit not only the search for perspective earth-abundant photosensitizers, but also the advancement in the understanding of SCO compounds for future opto-magnetic materials.
After ps the temperature grows due to the release of the 5 MC state vasper following its decay to the GS. Together with energy destabilization, this structural distortion of the scavenger MC states shortens their lifetime, and make them less accessible from the MLCT manifold, which in turn results in increased MLCT lifetimes.

The three contributions to the temperature dynamics are shown in Fig. In particular, the amount of the Hartree—Fock exchange used in hybrid functionals can significantly impact the calculated energy of the same geometry. Such information cannot be readily retrieved for MC states with optical methods, such as absorption or fluorescence spectroscopy due to the formally dipole-forbidden nature of the optical transitions between the GS and MC states which drastically reduces the interaction cross-section and, more importantly, because the relaxed MC states are geometrically inaccessible from vertical light excitations Fig.

Improvements in the cage modelling will also impact the accuracy of the energetic parameters since both solvation and solvent contributions are present primarily in the low- q region of the difference signal. The interpretation of the TRWAXS data was conducted according to the w-n400ps framework, 69 where the experimental curves are fitted wn-40ps theoretical signals from three contributions: The result of the refinement is: Recent years have seen the development of new iron-centered N-heterocyclic carbene NHC complexes for solar energy applications.

The cage term was simulated with a purely wn-4000ps MD, which cassper for solvation effects arising from the structural changes in the molecule, but it neglects the electronic charge redistribution in the molecule from the GS to 5 MC.
Previous work on Fe II SCO complexes have established that the structural changes induced by the transition from the GS to 5 MC are well described by parameterizing the global structure through parameters that define the shape of the first Fe coordination shell, including metal—ligand bond lengths, ligand bite angles and ligand rocking angles, as the reaction coordinates. Our results demonstrate that due to the increased ligand field strength caused by NHC ligands, upon transition from the ground state to the 5 MC state, the metal to ligand bonds extend by unusually large values: Note that our refinement procedure allows for an experimental determination of the global molecular structure as a function of two bond distances rather than the refinement of these two distances alone.
Further improvements of the experimental setup in terms of stability and signal-to-noise should help in increasing the precision of the extracted energies.
The transient optical absorption spectroscopy experiments previously conducted on this complex, 49 indicated that upon excitation to the MLCT manifold, the system decays into a vibrationally hot MC state in fs.
wn-400sp Moreover, the method employed here can be used for the refinement of many organometallic complexes which do not contain pairs of heavy atoms. The key structural parameters defining the structure of the molecule are highlighted with colors. A 31 ps component was tentatively assigned to vibrational cooling of this MC state. The refinement procedure aided by DFT wn-400os used in this work will further expand the classes of systems for which TRWAXS can provide experimental determination of short-lived excited state structures, beyond systems with heavy atom pairs.

An individual refinement of all pairs of interatomic distances would significantly exceed the maximal number of parameters that can reliably be inferred from the TRWAXS signal. Using information about the hydrodynamic state of the solvent, we also determine, for the first time, the energy of the 5 MC state as 0. Overall, the presented results show that the transition in photophysical properties between weak LFS and strong LFS Fe—NHC compounds manifest itself not only in the destabilization of the MC states, but also in the significantly different structural dynamics of these systems.
Moreover, TRWAXS can uniquely provide information about excited state energies by direct assessment of the amount of energy disposed into the solvent during excited state relaxation. The standard deviation of the calculated bond lengths was found to be 0. The key is that the parameters chosen need to define the relevant reaction coordinates associated with the structural dynamics.
This finding indicates that, at least for NHC systems, the short MC state lifetime is not indicative of its 3 MC character, as suggested for expanded cage and push—pull compounds in recent spectroscopic works 54,55 and observed in weak LFS Ru II based compounds.
Although the 3 MC state was not observed, it was added to the relaxation cascade analogously to Fe II polypyridyl complexes. The difference signal for the bulk solvent temperature increase was measured according to the standard procedure using azobenzene molecules.
