Here, we present optical pump/X-ray absorption probe studies to probe changes in electronic distribution and local structure upon formation of a self-trapped exciton. The experiments were carried out on the mixed-valence halide-bridged transition metal linear chain charge density wave material [Pt(en₂)][Pt(en₂)Cl₂]·(ClO₄)₄. Photoinduced changes in the Pt L_III XANES spectrum were measured on a picosecond time scale following generation of excitons via optical excitation of the intervalence charge transfer transition. Ab initio FEFF9 modeling of the spectra and the associated angular momentum projected density of states was used to interpret the response. We find photoinduced changes reflecting electronic redistribution and local lattice distortions that correspond to strong localization of the self-trapped state.
