41. This parameterization of the INDO/S method is based on a single excitation configuration interaction and utilizes the dipole-length operator for calculating transition moments. It is commonly observed that Cl-singles methods such as this overestimate the calculated oscillator strength and, as a consequence, tend to overestimate excitonic couplings of nearly degenerate localized excited states.
42. We are grateful to G. Fleming (Chicago) for pointing this out to us.
43. The fact that the dipole moment of the P+ HL − is greater than that of P+ HM − might suggest that P has greater formal separation from HL than to HM. This is counter to suggestions made that HL is closer to P, on average, and this explains, in part, the more effective transfer rate down the L side; see, for example, ref 32, and Plato, M., et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1988, 110, 7279. Of course, the details of the charge transfer do not depend on average separation, but detailed contacts.
