Simplified orbital and excited-state diagram for a d6 metal complex with octahedral coordination (strong crystal field is assumed). Each black arrow (↑↓) represents an electron with its associated spin. Coloured arrows (
) represent the electron involved in each electronic transition. In the singlet state electrons are spin down (
), while in the triplet state they are spin up (
).
