) even at magnetic fields as low as 0.4 T. Cr(iii) doublet states and SF emission are nowadays the object of many investigations, as they may open the way to several applications. Due to their nature, such transitions can be conveniently addressed by MCPL, which strongly depends on the zero field splitting and Zeeman splitting of the involved states. Despite the complexity of the nature of such states and the related photophysics, the obtained MCPL data can be rationalized consistently with the information recovered with more established techniques, such as HFEPR (high-frequency and -field electron paramagnetic resonance). We anticipate that emissive molecular Cr(iii) species may be useful in magneto-optical devices, such as magnetic CP-OLEDs.
