8. The multiplicity of the complex depends on the combination of the two spin systems of the complex. Consequently, the overall spin state of the complex can change without changing the spin state of one subsystem or may remain the same while the spin states of the subsystems change simultaneously. The transient absorption experiment probes only within one subsystem, i.e., the π-system, and is therefore almost insensitive toward the overall spin state.

14. Because of the temporal form of the pump-pulse, time constants on the order of 100 fs are difficult to extract from the data presented here. However, the value given is in agreement with the result of the study in ref 7. In this study, presumably due to a slightly different compressor setting, the temporal behavior of the pump-pulse was free of the wings seen here.

25. For instance, the local triplet states, of which the overall triplet consists, could have different electron g-factors which would alter the Hamiltonian in the formalism.

27. To reproduce the zero-field data, the initial populations should be equal to the respective amplitudes obtained by the triexponential fit. However, these values are roughly close to 1/3, so for our semiquantitative purpose we assume equal population of all triplet states. It should be noted that here, contrary to the situation usually encountered in ODMR, the triplet state is populated from a triplet precursor. When a triplet state is populated from a singlet precursor, the distribution of initial population follows the ratio of the (small) singlet admixtures. For a triplet precursor, the initial population is determined by the triplet characters, which are close to 1 for all sublevels, leading to nearly equal initial population.
