In the complexes FeL(SC6H5) and NiL(SC6H5), where L = hydrotris(3,5-diisopropylpyrazolylborate) HB(3,5-i-Pr2pz)3-, strong charge-transfer bands were observed in the regions 28,000 to 32,500 and 20,100 to 30,000 cm-1, respectively. Were these more likely LMCT or MLCT bands? Explain, taking into account the relative energies of the metal orbitals in these complexes. (See S. I. Gorelsky, L. Basumallick, J. Vura-Weis, R.
