  1. The excited-state dynamics of fac-Co(ppy)3, where ppy = 2-[2-(pyridyl)phenyl], are measured with femtosecond UV-Vis transient absorption spectroscopy. The initial state is confirmed with spectroelectrochemistry to have significant metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) character, unlike other Co complexes that generally have ligand-to-metal charge transfer or ligand-field transitions in this energy range. Ground-state recovery occurs in 8.65 ps in dichloromethane. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the MLCT state undergoes Jahn-Teller distortion and converts to a 5-coordinate 3MC state in which one Co-N bond is broken. The results highlights a potential pitfall of heteroleptic-bidentate ligands when designing strong-field ligands for transition metal chromophores.
