This assumption may not necessarily be valid for cases where there are multiple initial states having different geometries. Magnetic circularly polarized luminescence (MCPL) from phthalocyanine complexes can be regarded as an example of such cases, since the two degenerate emission states are split in a magnetic field and can undergo a structural deformation.
