In a more general sense, we show that a detailed analysis of excited-state wavefunctions can provide detailed insight into the photophysics of push-pull systems compared to a simple analysis of energies and frontier orbitals. General differences between singlet and triplet states have been outlined with triplets being more compact and local whereas enhanced CT was found for singlets. We believe that the presented protocol will be valuable for studying various push-pull systems in the future providing detailed insight into the properties of existing chromophores and providing new design ideas for the future.
