Abstract
Time-resolved infrared spectroscopy has been used to probe the nu(CO) bandwidths of the MLCT excited states of carbonyl-containing metal com plexes, in both polar and nonpolar solvents. Considerably broader exci ted state bands observed in the polar solvents indicate that the broad ening of the nu(CO) bands is a consequence of solvent-solute interacti ons. pi pi excited states, with no charge-transfer character, exhibit no such broadening of the nu(CO) bands upon excitation.
