LMCT (ligand-to-metal charge transfer) is a type of electronic transition in transition metal complexes. In chlorocarbonylbis(triphenylphosphine)iridium(I), the LMCT transition involves the transfer of an electron from the chloride ligand to the iridium(I) metal center. This transition is typically observed in the visible region of the spectrum and can be used to characterize the electronic structure of the complex.
