For these, we find that the singlet (S=0) states are slightly lower in energy than those with unpaired (S=1, 2…︁) spins. TD–DFT calculations on various ion‐pairs show that the three most intense electronic excitations arise from the transition between the SOMO (of s pseudosymmetry) into the lowest lying p–like levels. The optical absorption spectra are relatively metal–independent, and account for the absorption tail which extends into the visible. This is the source of Sir Humphry Davy’s “fine blue colour” first observed just over 200 years ago.</jats:p>"}]}],"creator":[{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1383670321123842176","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Eva Zurek"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1383670321123842178","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Peter P.
