Test of the Orbital-Based LI3 Index as a Predictor of the Height of the 3MLCT to 3MC Transition-State Barrier for [Ru(N N)3]2+ Polypyridine Complexes in CH3CN

Ruthenium(II) polypyridine compounds often have a relatively long lived triplet metalligand charge transfer (3MLCT) state, making these complexes useful as chromophores for photoac…
