Iron complexes with strongly σ-donating NHC-ligands (NHC = <i>N</i>-heterocyclic carbene) has emerged, featuring long lived LMCT excited states due to a significantly increased barrier for deactivation via metal centered states.

Once acids such as Sc(OTf)<sub>3</sub> and HOTf are bound to the oxo moiety of Mn(IV)-oxo complexes, the photoexcitation of acid-bound Mn(IV)-oxo complexes resulted in formation of the excited states with microseconds lifetimes, which are capable of oxidation of substrates including benzene to phenol.
