57. Absolute energy values cannot be obtained from inspection of the DOS where the energy is scaled with respect to the HOMO. The HOMO energies are positive for 1*, 2*, and 4* as well as for 1, all of them carrying a negative charge (-2, -2, -4, and -2, respectively). In a series of preliminary numerical experiments on 1*, we verified that the inclusion of a positive, spherically symmetric, external potential had the only effect of uniformly shifting all of the energy levels at lower (negative) values. For this reason, the herein reported data have been obtained without the inclusion of any external positive potential.
