LMCT

In the world of compounds, a sight to behold, Charge-transfer bands, shining bold. They dance in the light, oh so intense, More vibrant than d-d, they make no pretense. Solvatochromism, a magical feat, With shifts in electron density, they meet. Sensitive to solvation, they change their hue, A rainbow of colors, just for you. In the spectrum they lie, ultraviolet and bright, Visible to all, a true delight. Coordination complexes, they do adore, With molar absorptivities, high and more. Spin-allowed and Laporte-allowed, they say, CT transitions, they love to play. From metal to ligand, or ligand to metal, They bring oxidation or reduction, settle. Charge density shift, between MOs they roam, Metal or ligand, finding their home. LMCT or MLCT, a name so grand, Charge-transfer bands, a magical band. Random page: OJ: Made in America
