Ligand to ligand charge transfer transition

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006572",
  "term": "Ligand to ligand charge transfer transition",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An electronic transition in a coordination complex where an electron moves from an orbital primarily localized on one ligand to an orbital primarily localized on a different ligand. This type of charge transfer typically occurs between ligands with different redox potentials. Such transitions can contribute to the absorption spectra of polynuclear complexes.",
