^a“P⁺B_A^–” and “(P⁺H_A^–)₁” denote the initial and secondary charge-separated states, respectively, both composed of unresolved virtual pure states P⁺B_A^– and P⁺H_A^–.

^bParameters [“P⁺B_A^–”] and [“(P⁺H_A^–)₁”] are the equilibrium concentrations of the respective states included in the target analysis in Figure 5; τ₃ and τ₈ are lifetimes defined in scheme A in Figure 5.

^cParameters [“P⁺B_A^–”]_rel and [“P⁺H_A^–”]_rel are the relative populations of the states “P⁺B_A^–” and “(P⁺H_A^–)₁” that are in equilibrium with one another.

^dΔG is the absolute value of the free energy gap between the states “(P⁺H_A^–)₁” and “P⁺B_A^–”, estimated from eq 3.

^eParameters [P⁺B_A^–]_rel and [P⁺H_A^–]_rel are the relative populations of the states P⁺B_A^– and P⁺H_A^– that are in equilibrium with one another within the state “(P⁺H_A^–)₁” [or P⁺(B_AH_A)₁^–].

^fΔG₁ is the absolute value of the free energy gap between the states P⁺B_A^– and P⁺H_A^– that contribute to the state “(P⁺H_A^–)₁”, as estimated from eq S5.
