A theoretical and kinetic spectrometric investigation of Ni(II)-tetraphenyl tetrabenzoporphyrin (NiTPTBP) shows that photo-excitation into the B band at 400 nm rapidly generates the compound in its Q state. Stimulated emission from the Q state implies that this state is populated from the B state vi...
