FIGURE 8.

Simulation of the Co^II-substrate radical decay at 207 K by using the homogeneous linear two-step model (Scheme 2). The experimental decay data are shown as dots. The simulated normalized population of the A₁ ( dotted line) state, and the calculated time dependence of the A₂ ( solid line) and A₃ ( dashed line) states, are shown. Simulation parameters: initial normalized populations A_1,0 = 1.0, A_2,0 = A_3,0 = 0; k₁₂ = 9.73 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹, k₂₁ = 3.87 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹, k₂₃ = 3.09 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹, k₃₂ = 0 s⁻¹ (fixed); and R² = 0.9994.
