In Figure In geometry #58, the excited states arise from the mixing of state characters at the FC geometry. This means that an electronic state of the distorted geometry has similar WF overlap values with two or more states at the reference geometry, as is illustrated with connecting lines of different weights in Figure . As a result, the excited states of this geometry have intermediate values of CT character, in contrast to the reference states that have CT character of either close to 0 % (local excitations) or 100 % (CT excitations).
