47. The electronic coupling between the two multielectronic states is described by an additional term β, not indicated in eq 4. For the purposes of this discussion, we have assumed that this term is constant.

49. The homogeneous broadening of the individual vibronic transitions characteristic of these complexes in fluid solution at room temperature suggests that low-frequency modes (including the solvent) can be treated classically in the limit ℏω ≪ kT. This approximation allows for a reduction in the number of fitting parameters and allows each vibronic component to be described by a Gaussian distribution function.
50. Low-temperature emission spectra in this class of molecules have similar features, implying that there are no dramatic differences in the nature of the vibrational modes that couple to excited-state relaxation.

52. It should be noted that this calculation effectively describes the energy separation between the ground state and the Franck-Condon state. Factors such as spin-orbit coupling and outer-sphere reorganization are therefore not accounted for.

55. While the use of electrochemical data for estimating ZPE differences in these molecules is convenient, it does have its limitations. For example, the fact that spin-orbit coupling is not taken into account makes it difficult to directly ascribe these results to the actual emissive state in question. In addition, neither inner-sphere nor outer-sphere reorganization energies are explicitly accounted for in the electrochemical analysis.

68. 2 at 77 K. We do not necessarily dispute their interpretation for two reasons. First, we believe that a comparison of data between glass and fluid solution is problematic, particularly in the present system where we believe significant molecular motion accompanies excited-state relaxation. Second, given the strongly vibronic nature of this system as evidenced by our data, making a distinction between electronic and geometric factors may not be reasonable. We simply point out that all of our results can be explained quite well in the context of a model in which vibrational factors change significantly, but electronic factors do not.

84. It should be noted that such a torsional mode would be expected to occur at very low frequency and would be difficult to observe. This mode must become active at some stage to reformulate the canted ground state, but it is unclear whether it plays a role as an acceptor in the relaxation mechanism.
