From: Resonant X-ray photo-oxidation of light-harvesting iron (II/III) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes

Scheme of the participant decay process following the lowest iron-centred Fe 2p resonant excitation for (a) \(\hbox {Fe}^{{\rm{II}}}\) and (b) and \(\hbox {Fe}^{{\rm{III}}}\) octahedral complexes. The initial/ground state (GS), the core-excited (CE) intermediate state, and the oxidised final state (FS) after participant decay are shown, where green arrows indicate the excitation and decay processes.
