The transition types are assigned based on the occupied and the virtual molecular orbitals ψo and ψv (shown in Figure 3 and Figure S1, respectively), defining the transition with normalized percent contributions listed in parentheses. Subscripts denote the main contributing moiety. (MMLCT = metal-to-metal-and-ligand charge transfer; MLLCT = metal-and-ligand-to-ligand charge transfer; LLCT = ligand-to-ligand charge transfer; and LMCT = ligand-to-metal charge transfer.)
