39. The DF calculations used an energy functional incorporating a component of the exact exchange energy. See: Becke, A. D. J. Chem. Phys., 1993, 98, 5648. The basis set was a double-ζ Gaussian basis with polarization functions.
40. The distances refer to the trans-trans isomer. The cis-trans isomer displays a very similar asymmetry, as can be seen in Table 7.
41. In ref 12 we attributed this asymmetry to the O19-H distance, but it is also observed in the phenol molecule.
