We have measured, by means of ultrafast x-ray absorption and optical spectroscopy, the M-O (M=Fe, Co) and Co-N metal to ligand bond length change as a function of time and the formation and decay of the excited states and intermediate species, after excitation with a 267 nm femtosecond pulse. These experimental data combined with DFT calculations allowed us to determine the mechanism of electron transfer operating in the redox reaction of two metal-ligand complexes, [M(III)(C2O4)3]3- and [Co(III)(NH3)6 ]3+. Based on the data we find that, even though both molecules are excited into their charge transfer band, the redox reaction of [M(III)(C2O4)3]3- proceeds via intermolecular electron transfer while [Co(III)(NH3)6 ]3+ electron transfer mechanism is intramolecular.
