<p>Multireference electronic structure calculations consistent with known experimental data have elucidated a novel mechanism for photo-triggered Ni(II)–C homolytic bond dissociation in Ni 2,2’-bipyridine (bpy) photoredox catalysts. Previously, a thermally assisted dissociation from the lowest energy triplet ligand field excited state was proposed and supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations that reveal a barrier of ~30 kcal mol<sup>-1</sup>. In contrast, multireference ab initio calculations suggest this process is disfavored, with barrier heights of ~70 kcal mol<sup>-1</sup>, and highlight important ligand noninnocent contributions to excited state relaxation and bond dissociation processes that are not captured with DFT. In the multireference description, photo-triggered Ni(II)–C homolytic bond dissociation occurs via initial population of a singlet Ni(II)-to-bpy metal-to-ligand charge transfer (<sup>1</sup>MLCT) excited state followed by intersystem crossing and aryl-to-Ni(III) charge transfer, overall a formal two-electron transfer process driven by a single photon. This results in repulsive triplet excited states from which spontaneous homolytic bond dissociation can occur, effectively competing with relaxation to the lowest energy, nondissociative triplet Ni(II) ligand field excited state. These findings guide important electronic structure considerations for the experimental and computational elucidation of the mechanisms of ground and excited state cross-coupling catalysis mediated by Ni heteroaromatic complexes.</p>

Cobalt complexes that undergo charge-transfer induced spin-transitions (CTIST) or valence tautomerism (VT) from low spin (LS) Co(III) to high spin (HS) Co(II) are potential candidates for magneto-optical switches. We use M-edge XANES spectroscopy with 40 fs time resolution to measure the excited-state dynamics of Co(III)(Cat-N-SQ)(Cat-N-BQ), where Cat-N-BQ and Cat-N-SQ are the singly and doubly reduced forms of the 2-(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl-imino)-4,6-di-tert-butylcyclohexa-3,5-dienone ligand. The extreme ultraviolet probe pulses, produced using a tabletop high-harmonic generation light source, measure 3p3d transitions and are sensitive to the spin and oxidation state of the Co center. Photoexcitation at 525 nm produces a low-spin Co(II) ligand-to-metal charge transfer state which undergoes intersystem crossing to high-spin Co(II) in 67 fs. Vibrational cooling from this hot HS Co(II) state competes on the hundreds-of-fs timescale with back-intersystem crossing to the ground state, with 60% of the population trapped in a cold HS Co(II) state for 24 ps. Ligand field multiplet simulations accurately reproduce the ground-state spectra and support the excited-state assignments. This work demonstrates the ability of M-edge XANES to measure ultrafast photophysics of molecular Co complexes.<br><br><br>
