57. Agreement between theoretical expectations and experiments are expected if the structural reorganizations occurring at the level of the second electron transfer for the compounds of 2 have negligible or similar influence.
58. We are aware that the conformations (especially of the dication species) in the presence of a solvent can be slightly changed from the optimization made in the gas phase. However, optimization in the presence of solvent would have required unrealistic calculation times. This approach was chosen as a compromise between calculation time and precision.

62. 35b The similarity between the spectra recorded in flash photolysis and spectroelectrochemical experiments confirmed that the spectra correspond to the radical cations and not to dimers. The concentrations of produced radical cation are typically in the range of a few micromolar in flash photolysis against a millimolar in spectroelectrochemistry. Moreover, considering the bulky substituents and thus the important interplanar separation between successive extended TTF cores, dimerization of radical cations appears to be very unfavorable.

69. -1 has been found to have very little influence on the simulation.
70. The extracted potential values are more inverted that the values of Table 1 because the influence of electron-transfer kinetics has been neglected in the simple treatment of Table 1. Table 1 values have to be considered as a higher border for ΔE° values.
