32. Expression 4 is based on the assumptions that the conjugation paths for the unpaired electrons are restricted to a flat moiety, where the expectation value of the ZFS parameter, D, is approximated into a two-dimensional frame of reference. For details, see ref 13 and refs 38 and 39 therein.

35. In some cases, phase inversion indicating a change from singlet-into triplet-initiated spectra is noticed only by the spectral line shape, and not by the kinetic traces. This occurs when the ratio between the two respective spectra exceeds the value of 1:5. In these cases the kinetic trace is dominated by the stronger component (see also Table 4).
