Abstract

The origin of the lowest triplet states - locally excited or charge shifted (TLEvs. TCS) - is a key point in the discussion of the charge shift phenomena of 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium (see Fukuzumi et al. Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2008, 10, 5159 vs. Benniston et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2008, 10, 5156). Coordination of the anion on the mesityl moiety provides the effective stabilization of the charge-shifted state.
