While the spectrum that convolutes the excitations underlying the X-band in the absorption spectrum is of similar intensity as the C-band, the MCD spectrum above 6 eV has a much lower intensity and is less rich in features. Looking at the lower panel in Figure , we see that a flattening of the spectrum in the X-band region is also observed experimentally. This observation suggests that this part of the spectrum is made of B terms, i.e., the convoluted states are non-degenerate, as the B terms are usually (much) smaller than the A terms, as previously mentioned. Figure shows separate broadened A-and B-term spectra to illustrate this point. Note that the spectra are plotted on individual y axes. Interestingly, the B term spectrum reveals two oppositely signed terms of same magnitude between 4-4.5 eV (N-band region), a phenomenon referred to as a pseudo-A term. It has here its origin in two 1 E u states that contribute to the N-band which are only separated by ≈ 0.1 eV and coupled with a non-vanishing transition moment for the z component of the magnetic ). HWHMs of 7 cm -1 (Q-band, upper left), 20 cm -1 (B-band, upper right), and 1000 cm -1 (N-X region, lower panel). The experimental spectra are presented without ε values.
