Explain the relationship between multiple data sets, if required: Key words used to describe the data: Transient absorption spectra, time-resolved infrared spectra, fluorescence, spectroelectrochemistry. ========================== Methodological information ========================== A brief method description – what the data is, how and why it was collected or created, and how it was processed: Instruments, hardware and software used: Transient absorption and time-resolved infrared spectroscopy experiments were measured using laser flash photolysis and a pump-probe technique on the instruments at the Central Laser Facility, Dicot. The raw data was then processed in Origin 9.0. Kinetic traces were fit to single or multi exponentials using Origin 9.0. Lifetimes are given as amplitude weighted averages. Spectroelectrochemical experiments were run at Newcastle University in an Ottle cell. Emission spectra were measured at Newcastle University using a Shimadzu UV-1800 spectrophotometer. Date(s) of data collection: Transient absorption and time-resolved infrared experiments were run in August 2016. Spectroelectrochemical experiments were run between the 1st and 11th January 2017. Emission spectra were recorded between the 21st August and the 5th September 2017. Geographic coverage of data: Data validation (how was the data checked, proofed and cleaned): Processed time-resolved data was checked by experts at the Central Laser Facility, Didcot.
