= 24 s
• ns-Transient Absorption showed a bleach at ~500 nm which indicates a long lived excited state that lasts for 24.3 1.9 s
• Near IR emission indicates a * Triplet State due to its location ~1100 nm and its vibronic features which correlate to the MM stretch.

ns-Transient Absorption = 21 s
• Near-IR Emission confirms a * triplet state due to vibrational transitions corresponding to MM bond stretch.
• The transient absorption shows both a bleach and a transient that lasts for ~21 s.
Conclusions
• DFT calculations show that molecular orbitals can be tuned based on the metals used and their interactions with the ligands.
• Singlet states are 1MLCT based lasting less than 20 ps, and can be studied in greater depth using TR-IR. (Friday, Infrared/Raman Symposium: 11:25 AM)
• Triplet states are relatively long lived (~25 s), and are * in the case of Mo2 dinuclear centers.
• Further studies with different metals and bonding interactions could shed light on the photophysics of both the MM multiple bond and previously studied inorganic systems.
