23. Attempts to obtain 2,3,5,6-substituted norbornadienes without the exocyclic double bond by Diels-Alder reaction of 2,3-disubstituted cyclopentadienes and dimethylacetylene dicarboxylate led to 1,2,3,5-substituted norbornadienes (M. Gay, dissertation, Universität Erlangen, 1999) A selective Pd-or Pt-catalyzed hydrogenation of the isopropylidene group failed.

27. The MP2 method was used for verification because DFT methods under certain circumstances do not give correct results for the bond cleavage in radical cations. T. Bally, G. N. Sastry, J. Phys. Chem. A, 1997, 101, 7923-7925; for results of the MP2 calculations see Supporting Information.

41. The sign for the single electron is placed on the C atom with the highest spin density, the + sign is placed on the C atom with the highest charge or on the second trivalent C atom. Double bonds are drawn between the C atoms with the shortest bond length.
