21. We also expect d-d transitions to be present in the visible part of the spectrum. However, we expect these to be very weak compared to the two charge-transfer transitions and to make negligible contribution to the observed optical nonlinearity. Therefore, they are not considered further in our discussion.

30. Interestingly, the PE spectra of Fc[1]1 and Fc[1]2 are virtually superimposable, except that band B occurs at lower IE in the E-isomer, Fc[1]1. This effect can be attributed to the nonplanar π-system of the Z-isomer leading to a weaker interaction between cyclopentadienyl and p-nitrostyrene π-orbitals; this nonplanarity is evident in the crystal structure reported in ref 4.

37. The unusually large g-factor (2.0056 vs 2.00479 in the nitrobenzene radical anion) and the small hyperfine couplings (a = 0.213 G) to the protons in the 2-position of the ferrocen-1-yl unit also indicate some (very limited) delocalization of spin density onto the ferrocene donor.

42. Interestingly, the difference in ease of oxidation between Fc″[1]2 (-270 mV vs ferrocenium/ferrocene) and the parent octamethylferrocene (-360 mV) is somewhat larger than that between Fc[1]2 (+25 mV) and ferrocene (0 mV). This reflects the greater contribution of charge-transferred resonance structures to the ground state in the stronger donor (octamethylferrocenyl) case.
