74. In the Experimental Section measurements 1c and 2c are substituted at positions 2 and 5 by methyl groups; 2c is substituted at position 22 by tert-butyl group; 2a and 2b are substituted at 1 and 48 by tert-butyl groups.

77. Experimentally this transition is weakly vibronically allowed by borrowing intensity from IB (ref 45). It can be seen by plotting the experimental absorption in logarithmic scale. The fluorescence of Pc originates primarily from IA (ref 45).
78. The term "Davydov splitting" usually refers to the splitting of degenerate states in molecular aggregates and crystals in which intermolecular interactions are electrostatic, and are described by the Frenkel exciton Hamiltonian. In contrast, the coupling between electronic modes in dimers includes electrostatic as well as exchange interactions, which result in interchromophore electronic coherence. These may not be described by Frenkel exciton Hamiltonian.

85. Here we use the term "energy migration" but it could be argued that the term "internal conversion" is adequate as well.
