The ultrafast photochemistry of the [Cr(NCS)] complex upon excitation to the T ligand-field (LF) state was studied in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and ,-dimethylformamide (DMF) in a wide temporal range (100 fs to 9 ms) by a combination of femtosecond and nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy techniques and supported by quantum-chemical DFT/TD-DFT calculations. The initially excited T state undergoes intersystem crossing to the vibrationally hot E state with time constants of 1.1 ± 0.
