An indirect method of determination of
excited state equilibria, such as
values, based on
ground state thermodynamics and electronic transition energies. This cycle considers only the
difference in molar
enthalpy change
(
) of reaction of ground and excited states, neglecting the difference in molar
entropy change of reaction of those states
(
).Source:
