      abstract = {The entatic state denotes a distorted coordination  geometry of a complex from its typical arrangement that  generates an improvement to its function. The entatic-state  principle has been observed to apply to copper  electron-transfer proteins and it results in a lowering of  the reorganization energy of the electron-transfer process.  It is thus crucial for a multitude of biochemical  processes, but its importance to photoactive complexes is  unexplored. Here we study a copper complex—with a  specifically designed constraining ligand geometry—that  exhibits metal-to-ligand charge-transfer state lifetimes  that are very short. The guanidine–quinoline ligand used  here acts on the bis(chelated) copper(I) centre, allowing  only small structural changes after photoexcitation that  result in very fast structural dynamics. The data were  collected using a multimethod approach that featured  time-resolved ultraviolet–visible, infrared and X-ray  absorption and optical emission spectroscopy. Through  supporting density functional calculations, we deliver a  detailed picture of the structural dynamics in the  picosecond-to-nanosecond time range.},
